RSA-903-1995 (O&M) [2] Main case
1. This appeal has been filed against the judgment dated 20.02.1995 of Ld. Additional District Judge, Kurukshetra disposing of as many as 4 appeals.
2. One of the grounds taken by learned counsel for the appellant in this appeal is that an application under Order 41 Rule 27 of CPC was moved before the First Appellate Court for the production of additional evidence but that application was not considered by the First Appellate Court and the impugned judgment was passed without disposing of the application.
3.
Learned counsel has referred to a judgment passed by the Hon’ble Supreme Court in case titled as Sanjeev Goel Vs. Avtar S. Sandhu 2006 (9) SCC 748 wherein it has been held by Hon’ble Supreme Court that non disposal of the application under Order 41 Rule 27 CPC by the First Appellate Court leads to miscarriage of justice. Matter is required to be remanded. Similarly view has been taken by this Court in case ESA-9-2024 titled as Amit Manocha Vs. J.K. Nanda and another, decided by this Court on 14.08.2024.
4. In view of the aforesaid circumstances, the judgment and decree dated 20.02.1995 passed by Ld. Additional District Judge, Kurukshetra, giving rise to RSA-903-1995 is hereby set aside. The matter is remanded back to the First Appellate Court with direction to dispose of the application under Order 41 Rule 27 of CPC as moved by the appellant and then decide the appeals in accordance with law.
5. Accordingly, the present appeal stands disposed of. 26.08.2025 (DEEPAK GUPTA) Yogesh JUDGE Whether speaking/reasoned:- Yes/No Whether reportable:- Yes/No Yogesh Mehta 2025.08.27 17:07 I agree to specified portions of this document
