ORIGINAL JURISDICTION
CIVIL SIDE
DATED: ALLAHABAD 17.09.2012

BEFORE
THE HON'BLE PANKAJ MITHAL, J.

Civil Misc. Writ Petition No. 47087 of 2012

Rajendra Kumar Bajpai
 ...Petitioner
Versus
Shailesh Kumar Shukla and another

 ...Respondents

Counsel for the Petitioner:
Sri S.K. Nigam

Counsel for the Respondents:
..........................................

Code of Civil Procedure-Order 41 Rule
27-Additional
evidence-application
refused by Trail Court-Appeal-held not
maintainable-only in regular appeal such
application can be entertain strict in
accordance with scope of Order 41 Rule
27.

Held: Para 10

In view of totality of the facts and
circumstances, I am of the opinion that
the application for additional evidence
before the appellate court below that
was seized with the misc. appeal was not
maintainable and the court below has
not committed any error of law in
rejecting the same.
Case law discussed:
AIR 1993 Alld. 67

(Delivered by Hon'ble Pankaj Mithal, J.)

1. Heard learned counsel for the
petitioner.

2. This writ petition is directed against
the order dated 27.07.2012 rejecting
petitioner's
application
for
additional
evidence in misc. appeal arising out of an
interim injunction order.

3. The submission of learned counsel
for the petitioner is that additional evidence
in appeal is permissible under Order 41
Rule 27 C.P.C.

4. The above misc. appeal is directed
against the order dated 11.8.06 passed by
the court of first instance. The court of first
instance on an application for interim
injunction instead of granting an ex parte
order directed for issuing notices to the
other side and posted the application for
consideration thereafter vide order dated
11.08.06. The said appeal is not against any
final order which determines the rights of
the parties on the basis of any evidence.
Therefore, in appeal also only the matter
with regard to grant of any interim
injunction has to be considered on the basis
of the pleadings and the material on record
without any aid of evidence. Any evidence
adduced in such misc. appeal will not be
part of evidence in the suit. Therefore, even
if the provisions of Order 41 C.P.C. as a
whole have been made applicable to misc.
appeals filed under Order 43 by virtue of
Rule 2 of Order 43 C.P.C., it would not be
applicable for the purposes of adducing
additional evidence.

5. Similarly, the power of the
appellate court to take additional evidence
as contemplated by Section 107 C.P.C.
would not come into play in a misc. appeal
especially one arising from an order passed
on interim injunction application as the
question of additional evidence arises only
when
evidence
had
been
previously
recorded in the suit.

6. The provisions of Order 41 Rule 27
C.P.C. are applicable in three contingencies
3 All] Amolak Nath V. Shri Keshav Ji Gaudia Math Dharamshala Trust, Mathura
1213
where the trial court has refused to admit
evidence which ought to have been
admitted; the additional evidence sought
to be produced could not be produced
despite due diligence before the trial
court; and/or where the appellate court
requires any evidence to enable it to
pronounce
judgment
or
for
any
substantial
cause
The
question
of
adducing the evidence would only arise
where some evidence has already been
adduced.
The
stage
for
adducing
additional evidence has not arrived in
appeal as the evidence has so far not
recorded by the trial court.

7. In view of the aforesaid facts and
circumstances, I am of the opinion that
the provisions of Order 41 Rule 27
C.P.C. permitting additional evidence
cannot be applied to misc. appeals from
an interlocutory order passed on the
interim injunction application.

8. His Lordships of this in Kailash
Nath Singh Vs. The District Judge,
Mirzapur and another AIR 1993 Alld.
67 held that the appellate court while
hearing an appeal arising out of misc.
proceedings is not supposed to entertain
an application for the amendment of the
plaint and the only course open is to
direct
moving
of
the
amendment
application before the trial court or for its
consideration by the trial court on
disposal of the appeal on merits.

9. It is only on a regular appeal
filed that the appellate court exercises the
jurisdiction of the trial court and is
competent to take evidence which is not
the position when the appellate court is
hearing a misc. appeal.

10. In view of totality of the facts
and circumstances, I am of the opinion
that
the
application
for
additional
evidence before the appellate court
below that was seized with the misc.
appeal was not maintainable and the
court below has not committed any error
of law in rejecting the same.

11. The writ petition is devoid of
merits and is dismissed
