Academic query.

It is not an academic question. Decree holder got a copy of document of the same suit which is serious evidence & that document has not any exhibit number. This is material irregularity case and can be challenge in high court under cpc 115. that's why this question.

Exhibit numbers are placed on documents as
per the Evidence act.

C. P. CHUGH (Expert) 20 April 2012
Normally, original documents placed on the file of the court are exhibited and a unique identification of each documents is assigned such as Ex CW-1 or on son for docuents exhibited by complainant/Pettioner or Ex DW-1 or so on for documents exhibtied by accused/Respondents etc. Photocoies of the documents when placed on the file of the courts are not exhibited but are maarked as "Mark-A, B C etc" such marks have no evidentiary value and cannot be used against the accused/respondents. This is as per practive followed since ages.

Deepak! first of all you would have put the facts of the case associating yourself with the case otherwise the nature of the query you raised is definitely of an academic which rightly opined by Barman and secondly it is the serious mistake of the counsel for the plaintiff who though put the document on the file but didn't got it exhibited so you can;t allege or accuse the court not putting any reliance to that document. Courts have to relied upon only on the exhibits documents and have to discuss them accordingly. Court is not required to correct the mistake of the counsel not putting his case properly.

Documents produced in any case must be brought on record by marking through evidence. Once it is admitted by a witness and thus taken in evidence, it will be marked with a distinct mark such as Ex-P1, Ex D-1 etc. for easy identification thereafter to refer in the case. Unless the document is marked on admission as above, the court cannot look into it. Civil Rules of practice gives details.
