3. Mr. Mukherjee submits that the petitioner is the defendant in the Title Suit No.12/2024. She has applied for the trace map of relevant Dag of Padma Pukhuri village to the Revenue Authorities, but the same was denied to her, for which she approached the learned Trial Court by filing the Petition No.690/2025 for calling the trace map of the relevant Dag, but the same was dismissed vide impugned order dated 12.12.2025.
4.

But, if the Authority again denied the same, then she will not be able to produce and led evidence in the Court and on such count, she will suffers serious prejudice and therefore, Mr. Mukherjee submits that this petition may be disposed of by directing the learned Trial Court to consider the application filed by the petitioner in the event of denial of the trace map of relevant Dag of Padma Pukhuri village, by the Revenue Authority.

6. Having heard the submission of Mr. Mukherjee, this Court has carefully gone through the petition and the documents placed on record and also perused the impugned
order dated 12.12.2025.
7. It appears that the learned Trial Court has discussed the relevant provision of Order 13 Rule 10 of the CPC and arrived at a finding that the petitioner/defendant has not shown any case as to why they could not, without unreasonable delay or expense, obtain the documents. However, the learned Trial Court has granted liberty to bring any document on record and adduce as an evidence at the stage of evidence. As submitted by Mr. Mukherjee, learned counsel for the petitioner, the petitioner has again applied for the trace map of relevant Dag of Padma Pukhuri village. And in the event of providing the same to her by the Revenue Authority, she will definitely bring on record and led evidence before the learned Trial Court. But, in the event of refusal, the petitioner is granted liberty to approach the learned Trial Court by filing appropriate petition under Order 13 Rule 10 CPC, to call for the same from the Authority.
