¶21

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that Title Partition Suit No. 150 of 2006 was filed by respondent (plaintiff therein) against petitioners (defendant therein) for carving out their 1/3^rd share in the ancestral property mentioned as suit property in the plaint. Suit was decreed on 28^th of September, 2016. Against that judgment an appeal was preferred i.e. Title Appeal No. 12 of 2007. Subsequently, on 20.07.2019 and 24.07.2019 two petitions were filed for adducing additional evidence under Order 41 Rule 27 of CPC and Section 151 of CPC. Altogether, eight documents have been sought for as additional evidence. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that all these documents are necessary for proper and complete adjudication of this case.

¶22

Contrary to this, learned counsel for the respondent submits that the Title Partition Suit was filed in the year 2006 which was decided in the year 2016 and till eleven years no such documents were filed however; all the documents pertaining to

¶23

¶24

Partition Suit were in the custody of defendant/petitioner because his father namely, Yogender Prasad Sah was elder brother. All these documents were in full knowledge of the defendant/petitioner which has not been produced within time.

¶25

Now, during course of argument, there is no explanation on behalf of learned counsel for the petitioner as to why such delay has been caused in filing the aforesaid eight documents and on what basis he is entitled to produce under provision of Order 41 Rule 27. Altogether three ingredients are mentioned in Order 41 Rule 27 but none of the ingredients attracts/applies in this case.

¶26

After giving thoughtful consideration to the rival submission of the parties in the light of facts and circumstances of this case, I come to the conclusion that the petition is devoid of any merit and accordingly, it stands dismissed.
