THIS PETITION, COMING ON FOR PRELIMINARY HEARING, THIS DAY, ORDER WAS MADE THEREIN AS UNDER: CORAM: HON'BLE SMT. JUSTICE LALITHA KANNEGANTI ORAL ORDER Aggrieved by the order passed on I.A.No.7 in O.S.No.314/2018 dated 23.02.2026 by the III Additional Senior Civil Judge and JMFC at Kolar, the petitioner/plaintiff is before this Court. 2. The plaintiff herein has filed a suit for eviction and recovery of rent. In the said suit, he has filed I.A.No.7 under Order XI Rule 16 read with Section 151 of the CPC, seeking to issue summons to or direct the defendant to produce the document referred to in the written statement at paragraph Nos.3 and 4 on pages Nos.2 and 3, in respect of the original - 3 - HC-KAR CNR: KAHC010535152026 NC: 2026:KHC:41947 WP No. 24354 of 2026 Llease Deed dated 30.01.2015, which came to be dismissed by the order impugned. 3. While rejecting the application, the Trial Court observed that, at the time of filing the suit, the plaintiff had not stated who possessed the original Lease Deed dated 30.01.2015. As per paragraph No.9 of the plaint, it is pleaded that the plaintiff is producing the original Lease Deed dated 30.01.2015. Nowhere has he stated that the original Lease Deed is in the custody of the defendant. 4. On the other hand, the defendant has taken a stand with regard to the Lease Deed, but he has nowhere pleaded that the original Lease Deed is in his custody. The defendant has denied that the original Lease Deed is in his custody, and accordingly, the Trial Court has rejected the application. 5. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that it is a typographical mistake in the said plaint, wherein it has been stated that the original lease deed is placed before the Court. In fact, what is placed before the Court is a - 4 - HC-KAR CNR: KAHC010535152026 NC: 2026:KHC:41947 WP No. 24354 of 2026 Xerox copy, as noted on the first date of hearing. He has drawn the attention of the Court to the Lease Deed and submitted that the Lease Deed clearly stipulates that the original Lease Deed is with the tenant and a copy of the same is with the owner of the property. It is submitted that the Trial Court ought to have allowed the application and directed the defendant to produce the document. 6. Having heard the learned counsel for the petitioner, perused the material on record. The Trial Court, without going into the facts as to what has been stated in the plaint by the petitioner, which is clarified thereafter, finds that, according to the defendant, the original document is not in his possession. In those circumstances, the trial Court cannot direct the defendant to produce a document which, according to him, is not in his possession. Considering the same, the trial Court has rejected the application filed by the petitioner. Hence, this Court do not find any infirmity in the order impugned. In view of the above discussions, this Court is passing the following: - 5 - HC-KAR CNR: KAHC010535152026 NC: 2026:KHC:41947 WP No. 24354 of 2026 ORDER i. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed. ii. Pending IAs, if any, shall stand closed. Sd/- (LALITHA KANNEGANTI) JUDGE SMC List No.: 1 Sl No.: 21
