The petitioner filed a suit in OS.No.54/2010 seeking a declaration that the suit 'A' schedule property is - 3 - HC-KAR CNR: KAHC010138362020 NC: 2026:KHC:37683 W.P. No.2098/2021 the ancestral property of the plaintiff, and other consequential reliefs. In the said suit, the defendants filed a detailed written statement. The trial Court framed the issues, the issues were recasted on 29.01.2019 and the parties adduced their evidence. Thereafter, the plaintiff filed an application under Order VII Rule 14 read with Section 151 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 (for short 'CPC') seeking condonation of delay and permission to produce certain additional documents. The application was opposed by the defendants, and the trial Court, under the impugned order rejected the application. 4. It is required to be noticed that the plaintiff is contending that after recasting of the issues, the additional documents sought to be produced are necessary, as the burden is on the plaintiff to prove that the registered sale deed dated 23.01.1985 is executed in favour of one Sri.Eregowda, son of late Sri.Javaregowda in respect of property measuring 72x43 feet with the boundaries. The - 4 - HC-KAR CNR: KAHC010138362020 NC: 2026:KHC:37683 W.P. No.2098/2021 plaintiff further stated that in order to prove the same, these documents are necessary and he could not produce these documents earlier due to ill health. It is further required to be noticed that this application was filed after the plaintiff argued the matter finally and when the matter was posted for the defendants’ arguments. It is also required to be noticed that the petitioner/plaintiff had earlier filed similar applications seeking permission to produce additional documents, which were rejected by the trial Court vide orders dated 02.01.2018 and 02.08.2019 and those orders have attained finality. Considering the aforesaid aspects, the trial Court has rightly rejected the application. I do not find any good ground to interfere with the order. Accordingly, the writ petition is devoid of merits and the same is rejected. Sd/- (VIJAYKUMAR A. PATIL) JUDGE ABK List No.: 1 Sl No.: 20
