Maddirala Venkateswarlu v. Gonuguntla Ramesh Naidu - Evidence - Unregistered Document

Evidence - A document, though initially inadmissible for want of proper stamping, can be admitted into evidence once the deficiency of stamp duty and penalty, if any, are duly paid- While an unregistered document affecting immovable property cannot be received as evidence of the transaction itself, but it can be admitted for collateral purposes, such as the nature of possession. (Para 13-14)

Code of Civil Procedure 1908 -Order XLI Rule 27 - An appeal preferred against the judgment of a Court refusing to admit a document in evidence, although it ought to have been admitted, the Appellate Court may allow such evidence. In case Appellate Court considers that production of document or examination of witness is necessary to pronounce the judgment, such Court may allow the document or evidence to be produced. In case the First Appellate Court allows the additional evidence to be produced assigning reasons, it may be admitted by the Court. (Para 10)
