SRI OMPRAKASH JAISWAL vs SRI AUDHESH PRASAD JAISWAL AND ANOTHER — 5/2025

Summary: The court rejected the plaintiff's petition under Order 18 Rule 16 CPC filed on 13/06/2025, which sought to call witness Raj Bali Shaw to testify immediately regarding a disputed family settlement agreement (Panchnama). The court held that the plaintiff was attempting to bypass standard evidentiary procedure by calling the attesting witness before the document itself was formally proved by the legal custodian, and that the witness's age and infirmity did not justify departing from established rules of evidence. The ad interim injunction was extended till the next date, with the injunction application hearing fixed for 28/01/2026.
