In this matter, the Madras HC noted that the documents sought to be produced were linked to the defence already disclosed in the reply notice and to the disputed cheque custody issues. Objections that the papers were xerox copies were treated as matters for consideration when marking the documents, not as a ground to refuse receipt at the threshold. The request was also not regarded as an attempt to fill gaps in the defence, so the order permitting additional evidence remained within the statutory framework. en-us Wed, 25 Apr 2018 00:00:00 +0530 Mon, 09 Aug 2021 08:52:35 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=296835 Section 391 CrPC allows an appellate court to receive additional evidence only when it considers the evidence necessary and records reasons.
