Mr. Sunil Kumar Singh, for the petitioner

the order dated 15^th January, 2011, whereby the

learned Civil Judge (Jr. Division), Ajmer,

District Ajmer dismissed the application filed

by the plaintiff-petitioner under Section 35 of

Indian Stamp Act.

Having heard the learned counsel for

the petitioner and carefully perused the

relevant material on record, it is noticed that

in the suit filed by the plaintiff, a document

(written receipt) was produced by the

defendant, which was marked exhibit by the

learned trial court. The plaintiff-petitioner

moved an application imploring the court that

as per the provisions of Section 17(2) of the

Rajasthan Stamps Act and Indian Stamps Act,

document produced in evidence ought to have

been registered and properly stamped, but since

the document produced by the defendant is not

properly stamped and registered, as such the

same should not have been taken on record nor

exhibited. It is further notice
