SHAIKH NURA Vs. BAIKUNTHA NATH RAY

Decided On June 30, 1913
SHAIKH NURA Appellant
V/S
BAIKUNTHA NATH RAY Respondents

JUDGEMENT

(1.) THE sole point in this case is a very simple one and it is whether the learned Judge of the lower Appellate Court was justified in admitting evidence which became relevant because of the discovery of two documents which had previously been out of the reach of defendant No. 2, who is the appellant before us. We can entertain no doubt that the Judge was entitled to admit the documents. Indeed that is conceded before us. THE oral evidence that was admitted was a natural consequence of the admission of the documentary evidence, and we think there can be no legal objection to its admission. If that be so, it is conceded that the findings of the lower Appellate Court are conclusive,

(2.) WE must, therefore, reverse the judgment of Mr. Justice Digarabar Chatterjee, and restore the decree of the Judicial Commissioner. The respondent before us must pay the costs of both appeals in the High Court.
