Blank Agreement, Promissory Notes & Cheque

Querist : Anonymous (Querist) 02 December 2010 This query is : Resolved
It is known fact that signed blank agreement, promissry notes and cheques is blanket authority to the holder to fill the blank spaces and or amount.

My query is if these blank documents/ agreement is submitted as evidence and they are not filled even after these have been submitted as evidence, what will be the status of such documents.

For e.g. duration of validity is left blank in the agreement, e.g. rate of interest and place of payment is left blank on the promissory note.

Does the holder who has submitted the same as evidence and has no longer custody of the same has the authority to fill the blanks even after the documents are in custody of the court as evidence.

Thanks

No . Once any document is filed in the court , no body even the court can make any corrections in it. It will be left to the court to decide on the aspect of blank spaces in the course of trial.
