Heard. 4. This Court on perusal of the impugned order observe that already the learned trial Court is aware of the fact that the document which is being exhibited is a photocopied document and the learned trial Court has left open for the defendant-petitioner to argue on the point of admissibility as well as proof of the said document and it was left open to be decided at the stage of final hearing. 5. This Court also finds that the apprehension of the defendant- petitioner is without any basis. However, it is made clear that the learned trial Court shall consider the objection of the defendant- petitioner to the effect that whether a photocopied document can be read in secondary evidence or not at the stage of final hearing of the suit. 6. With the aforesaid observations, the present Civil Writ Petition stands disposed of. 7. Pending application(s), if any, also stand disposed of. (BIPIN GUPTA),J MAHIMA/KRATIKA/1
