necessary, or is satisfied that the application for a certified copy has been duly made and has not been granted. Rule 129(3) is in the alternative and provides for two eventualities. The first where the Court itself considers it necessary to have the original records produced and secondly, in the alternative, if it is satisfied that on an application, for certified copies being furnished, having been made, the certified copies had not been granted. Making an application for furnishing the certified copies, and failure of the Public Officials to make available such certified copies, is not a condition precedent for summons to be issued for production of the records in as much as the Court is empowered, under Rule 129(3) of the Civil Rules of Practice, to issue summons if it considers the production of the original necessary. In the case on hand, the Court below has recorded its satisfaction that production of such records is necessary. It also held that no prejudice would be caused to the petitioners herein if the documents, as sought for, were called for.
