ORAL ORDER
Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and Sri.K.Murthy,
learned counsel appearing for respondent No.1.
2. The contention of the learned counsel for the petitioner is that in O.S.No.621/2023 that is pending on the court of the XLI Additional City Civil and Session Judge at Bengaluru, he had submitted an instrument evincing cash transaction of Rs.9,00,000/-. It is stated that this document was liable to be impounded by the Court, in view of the provisions of Section 33 of the Karnataka Stamp Act, 1957.
3. A perusal of the order impugned reflects that the Court has held that the document in question dated 15.04.2010 was found to be not registered and it was held that it could not be admitted in evidence. The Court also held it could not be under the circumstances used to prove any collateral purpose.
4. Accordingly, the document of 15.04.2010 was rejected as inadmissible.
5. Since the sole contentions of learned counsel for the petitioners is that the document ought to have been

impounded by the Court concerned, which the Court has not done, it is for the petitioners to bring the same to the notice of the Court, if so advised. We decline to pass any order in this regard. This petition is accordingly disposed of.
