See the court can before final order call for original papers to exhibit and verify . The document along.with application to exhibit and list of documents can be produced before the court.
Photo copy (OSR) exhibited are as good as original. However, at the time of cross examination, opposite counsel can ask for original just to see it from your possession.
You have to in your evidence make specific averments that original has been lost or misplaced
2) that photocopies were done by you
3) only then can photocopies be marked as exhibits
Hi
In response to your query the answer is "YES & NO"
First instance, in order to take the re-exhibit, the party relying on the said exhibit need to mention in his (pleadings) and specifically mention where the Originals are lying and his inability to produce at the relevant time.
Second instance, re-exhibit will not be considered if specific plea of the status of originals is not taken in pleadings.
Yes you can do it in case court is not taking any notice are there we dancers because of the photocopy you have to produce the originals before the court
Photocopies are secondry evidence. The primary evidence is the original copy which is admissible in evidence.
Unless it is not proved that originals are either destroyed or not in possession, cannot be exhibit.
What do you mean by re exhibit ?
The photocopies are not allowed to be marked as exhibits i the civil suits, hence you may have to produce the original documents to mark the documents as exhibits in your case.
- An application may be submitted to Hon'ble court on revisiting the previous order against exhibited evidence if any order announced against beside with permission of the court in any way same can be re-exhibited with the ground of crucial documents to the case.
- Please note without court permission same is not possible.
