Renuka Thakur 41-WP-1701-2020.docx IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO. 1701 OF 2020 Sunita Ramesh Thakur Wife Ramesh Thakur (Decd) ...Petitioner V/s. Bank Of India ...Respondent ________________ Ms. Divya Menon i/b Bhave and Co., for Petitioner. ________________ CORAM: SANDEEP V. MARNE, J. DATED: 5 OCTOBER 2026. P.C.: 1) Plaintiff’s grievance in the Petition is about the course of action adopted by the learned Judge of the City Civil Court in marking as exhibits the documents tendered by it after closure of evidence of P.W. 1. The Petitioner complains that no opportunity was granted to it for filing statement on admission/denial. It is also contended that in absence of any supporting evidence, the documents are straightaway marked as exhibits. 2) It is well settled position of law that mere marking the documents as exhibits does not ipso facto mean that the documents automatically become admissible in evidence. Therefore, it is clarified that the Trial Court shall take into consideration the additional Page No. 1 of 2 5 OCTOBER 2026 Renuka Thakur 41-WP-1701-2020.docx documents (which are already marked as Exhibits) as admissible in evidence only if Plaintiff proves the said documents by leading evidence. 3) With the above clarification, the Writ Petition is disposed of.
