4. From a perusal of the impugned order, it is evident that jamabandi i.e. latest revenue record, sought to be placed on record qua the suit land pertains to the year 2021-22. The document is a per se admissible document. It is a revenue record, which pertains to the suit land, it shall help the Court in imparting substantial justice. The learned trial Court has permitted the same to be placed on record after condoning the delay in filing the same, subject to payment of cost.
5. In the aforesaid facts and attending circumstances, I see no reason to differ with the view taken by the learned trial Court and no interference is called for in the well- reasoned impugned order dated 03.06.2025.
6. In view of the above, the present petition is dismissed being devoid of merit. Pending miscellaneous application(s), if any, shall also stand disposed of.
