The said application was filed after the closure of respondent \u2013 plaintiff\u2019s evidence. Trial court dismissed the petitioner \u2013 defendant\u2019s application and the said order was challenged in the present petition.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The court observed that the scheme of trial laid out under Order XIII CPC requires the parties to produce original documents before the stage of settlement of issues. The Act requires the parties to produce the documents on the basis of which their claim is founded, at the time of presentation of plaint or filing of written statement. It is for this very reason that the provisions regarding interrogatories and discovery of documents have been laid down under Order XI CPC.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It was observed that the petitioner-defendant had failed the discovery application at a belated stage after the closure of respondent \u2013 plaintiff\u2019s evidence and that too after a delay of about 5 months in filing their own evidence. As such, the trial court was right in holding the application to be non-maintainable. On this holding, the writ petition was dismissed.
