The oral evidence can be led on the basis of the pleading of plaintiffs. It goes without saying that to prove such defence/fact stated in oral evidence, the plaintiffs as the case may be defendant, can place reliance upon the documentary evidence. So, plaintiff can place reliance upon the document of sale agreement alleged to have been executed with the predecessor of defendant Nos. 3 to 5 on 02.06.1977 and so also alleged cash receipt dated 02.06.1977 in this regards, as it appears that both these documents have already been submitted with the list of documents filed below Exh. 45 on 19.07.2017 before the trial Court in the aforesaid suit. Nonetheless, the documents sought to be relied upon must be admissible and proved in accordance with law. 5. In view of the aforesaid, learned advocate Mr. Sanghavi would not invite anymore and further reasons from this Court, and as such, this Court would not like to delve much into the matter anymore. 6. Accordingly, the present writ application is disposed of. Direct service is permitted. (MAULIK J.SHELAT,J) SALIM/ Original copy of this order has been signed by the Hon'ble Judge.
