What is your locus standi to the query?
If your opposite party did not produce original documents before settlement of issues it is a blessings in disguise. In this situation do not flare up, keep silence and let the Court pronounce judgment, it shall be in your favour.
However, it is only presumption on the basis of facts posted by you, which may differ from actual circumstances.
It would be better to consult another local prudent lawyer with relevant facts/documents for proper appreciation, guidance and proceeding.
