There is no procedure for annexing the photocopy of the secondary evidence. Hence, filing of the suit without original/certified copy cannot be entertained. However, in order to give an opportunity to the applicants/plaintiffs, the application is allowed in respect of documents No.1 and 2 alone, with costs of Rs.1,00,000/- [Rupees One Lakh only] to be paid by the applicants/plaintiffs to the respondents/defendants on or before 20.06.2024.
