Delay Not Explained: Rajasthan HC Upholds Order Rejecting Plea To Produce Sale Deed's Certified Copy Moved 13 Yrs After Suit Was Filed

The Rajasthan High Court ruled on Order 7 Rule 14 of the Civil Procedure Code (CPC), stating that if a document or its certified copy is not produced along with the plaint, it cannot be allowed to be produced later without the court's permission. This provision mandates the initial filing of all documentary evidence relied upon by the plaintiff. The court's ruling reinforces the importance of adhering to procedural rules at the outset of a civil suit to ensure a fair and efficient trial process.
