Additional documents can be filed with the leave of Court when evidence is going on

In Sadhu Forging Limited Vs. Continental Engines Ltd., the Delhi High Court said that it is well-settled that procedure is the handmade of justice. It is undisputed that even at this stage, a party can file documents but with the leave of the Court. The plaintiff cannot be non-suited from filing the documents it seeks to rely upon even at this stage. Though in the decision Nishant Hannan (supra) this Court was dealing with unimpeachable documents, however the fact remains that under Order VII Rule 14 CPC read with Section 151 CPC the plaintiff can file additional documents with the leave of the Court when the plaintiffs evidence is going on. Provision under Order VII Rule 14 CPC is essentially to assist parties and the Court in adjudication of the dispute.

In April 2013, the motor accident claims tribunal directed the Tamil Nadu State Transport Corporation (TNSTC) to provide her a compensation of 57.9 lakh. However, TNSTC refused to budge and on Tuesday a city court ordered attaching of movable assets of the transport corporation.
