The statutory bar under Section 36 prevents a party from challenging admissibility after exhibition, and the objection based on want of cancellation of stamp under Section 12 does not survive in that situation. The proper course is to decide the dispute on the remaining defence, here discharge, rather than dismiss the suit for alleged inadmissibility of the instrument.
