IN THE HIGH COURT OF MADHYA PRADESH AT JABALPUR FA No. 969 of 2024 CNR No.: MPHC010334352024 (MS. SHALINI SHARMA Vs DR. REKHA BAIJAL AND ANR )

Dated :28-10-2026 Shri Satya Prakash Mishra - Advocate for the appellant.

Shri Dharmendra Soni - Advocate for the respondents.

Smt.Laxmi Devi Singh - Oath Commissioner is present in the court.

PUD dated 16.9.2026 filed by applicant/Oath Commissioner Smt.Laxmi Devi Singh has been placed on record for orders to return the register, which was seized in compliance of the direction issued by this Court vide order dated 14.8.2026 passed in F.A.No.969/2024.

On perusal of the enquiry report dated 24.9.2026, it is found that the Registrar has prima facie found that fraud has been committed with the court by filing various documents including affidavits of the appellant. Finding has also been recorded that the Oath Commissioner herself has admitted that such counsel has never appeared before her for attestation of the affidavit.

In such circumstances, in the considered opinion of this Court, the Register cannot be returned back to the applicant because it has become a piece of evidence and the Registrar has already initiated proceeding for registration of FIR for the alleged fraud.

Accordingly, the PUD stands closed.

List the appeal in the week commencing 30.11.2026.

Interim relief, if any, to continue till the next date of hearing.
