Evidence act


Problem:
Plaintiff “A” has filed a suit for possession by way of Specific Performance against Defendant “B” . To show his readiness & wiliness, the Plaintiff has stated in the plaint that he was having Rs 19 lakh in cash for sale registration and brought the same in the Tehsil for registration on the fixed date . In his Plaint ,
 No documentary proof annexed with Plaint either in the form of Bank Draft or Copies of Bank account entries/statement etc .
 Neither he mentioned any thing about any “witness” accompanied him in the Tehsil on the fixed date NOR he stated that the Rs 19 lakh was borrowed from a “Witness”.
Similarly, again in his replication filed , Plaintiff also didn’t stated any other new fact /s.
But , when Examination –in Chief started after two years of filing suit, For the First time , the Plaintiff produced a witness-PW . More important, in his affidavit , Plaintiff didn’t mention the fact that he was accompanied with “ Witness -PW” nor he stated the fact he borrowed Rs 19 lakh from the Witness-PW.
Whereas, in the affidavit submitted by Witness-PW , he mentioned that he accompanied with Plaintiff in the Tehsil complex and remained through out with him. In the affidavit , the Witness –PW didn’t mention the fact that he gave money Rs 19 lakh in cash as a friendly loan to Plaintiff on the date of Registration , but instead Witness submitted a statement of Accounts on the letter head of his firm stating there in that he gave in cash Rs 19lakh in cash to Plaintiff . This receipt is undated, signed by witness himself ( as a partner to the firm) . No additional corroborating documentary evidence /s in the form of Accounts Books of his Firm or Bank statement showing withdrawal were submitted by him. Defendant advocate objected the submission of “ Statement of Account-on letter head” by the Witness-PW without making part of his affidavit. The Judge kept it open the objection for argument stage.
In view of the above facts :
(1) What is the evidentiary value under the Evidence Act of such late introduction of new facts and of a “Witness” only at Examination-in-Chief stage by the Plaintiff and not earlier anywhere in his plaint or replication.?
(2) What is the evidentiary value of undated receipt submitted & signed by witness himself ( as a partner to the firm) without producing any additional corroborating documentary evidence /s in the form of Accounts Books of his Firm or Bank statement showing withdrawal were submitted by him.? Please suggest your expert opinion alongwith any relevant Case law .

मेरे बेटेको मेने अपने ही पैसोंसे, पाला पोसा, उसका विवाह भी किया मेरे वेटा 8वी कक्षा तक कम पढा लिखा था ओर पढी लीखी शिक्षिका वहू शादी के तीन माहके वाद उसे लेकर अलग रहने लगी. जब यह मकान वनाया था तब वह कुछभी कमाता नही था ओर 17 साल के वाद मेरे बेटे का केन्सरकी बीमारी के कारण स्वर्गवास हो गया मेने उसके इलाजमें 2 लाख का खर्च किया, उसके मरने के बाद विधवा बहू उसके मायके से उसके पिता माताको अपने साथ रहेने के लिये बुला लायी ओर उनके वहकाने से हमारे साथ झगडा करने लगी और तरह तरह के इल्जाम लगाकर पुलिस केस किया पुलिसने हम बुढे पति-पत्नीको बेल पर छोड दिया और कहा कि यह मिलकत का केस हे तो कोर्टमे जाकर फैसला कर लो तब मैने प्रोपर्टी बैच देनेका तय किया तो उसने प्रोपर्टी में अपने मैयत पतिका हिस्सा है एसा दावा किया और मकान बेचने और उसे खाली न करवाने पर नाम. कोर्टसे स्टे की मांग की ।
लेकिन सभी दस्तावेज और सबूतोंको ध्यानमे रखते हुए नाम. कोर्टने उसे स्टे ओर्डर नही दिया ईसलिये वह अब हमे विधवा होने और उसके कानूनका फायदा उठाकर कीसी दूसरे केसमे फसाकर पूरा मकान हडप लेना चाहती हे और हम बुढे पति-पत्नीको कानूनके चक्करमे फसाकर जेल भेजना चाहती है उसमे उसके मायके वाले साथ देते हे।

Paper book for first appeal query for bharat chugh and others

We have a first appeal pending in gujarat high court for a paper book for over a year. We are not able to get factual information from any sources including our advocate as to what the process is and why it is taking so long to get this paper book. We are suspecting some other type of activity may be going on since this is a long standing case involving property fraud and a lot of corruptive activities have already taken place at all levels of the judiciary system regarding our case.

Mr. Bharat Chugh gives very informative and factual answers, I would like him and others who can give similar answers to reply. I needs to know:

1) where can I find out information about the actual process of obtaining a paper book. Please provide reference.
2) What specific documents make up a paperbook (is it written in any legal procedures such as the CPC, etc.)? Please provide a reference where I can look for the information online.
3) Is there a fee for it and who is responsible for the fee and how much is it or how can we determine what the fee will be.
4) Who is responsible for obtaining the paperbook ... is it the High Court Registrar's office as our advocate is telling us or is it us or someone other party.
5)Who do we contact to get this paper book compiled?
6) Does the paperbook and its content need to be court certified?
6) How long does it take to get a first appeal filed a year ago normally take?
7)Is there a time limit as to when the High Court should have this paperbook; if so what is it?
8) Is there a way to expedite the process? (the Supreme Court has already directed the High court to expedite but so far we have seen no sign either from our advocate or high court in getting this thing moved along.
Please, Please, Please, reply with definitive information only. We need really good references as to where the government stated procedural information is written for this type of requirement with regards to first appeals and paper book.

We want to make sure we follow the letter of the law with regards to this paperbook so that the opposite party does not have any technical grounds to appeal based on it's contents or lack thereof.

Thank you kindly.
