Case Summary: OS.No.48/2016 Outcome: Petition ALLOWED with costs of Rs. 1,000. K.R. Murugesan (1st defendant) sought to submit additional documents late in trial, including registered gift and sale deeds showing property transfers. While the court acknowledged the petitioner failed to provide proper reasons for the delay and omitted these documents from his written statement, it upheld the principle of natural justice ("audi alteram partem"), allowing him a fair opportunity to present evidence. The court imposed Rs. 1,000 cost as penalty for the delay, noting the suit had been pending 10 years since 2016. Documents were admitted subject to proof of relevancy and admissibility at trial.
