Its purpose is to reduce the cost of proving proper documents, not to avoid the requirement to obtain admissible material. Where originals from another judicial record are unavailable, secondary evidence must be produced in the legally permitted form, namely certified copies; unsigned, uncertified copies are inadmissible. Accordingly, a party cannot compel an opponent to admit or deny such copies under Order 12 Rules 2 and 3A, and an application founded on them is not maintainable. en-us Mon, 12 Jan 1976 00:00:00 +0530 Thu, 26 Dec 2019 11:08:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=285096 Order 12 admission or denial procedure applies only to documents the court can legally act upon and that are capable of being admitted in evidence.
