Once Documents are Marked as Exhibits - When a document is formally marked as an exhibit during trial, it generally cannot be demarked or rejected later, provided no objection was raised at the time of marking. This principle is supported by multiple rulings emphasizing that unobjected marking of a document as an exhibit precludes subsequent objections to its admissibility Rajesh Varma VS Aminex Holdings & Investments - Bombay, Deep Pal Consultancy Pvt. Ltd. VS Uma Mukherjee - Calcutta, bolla sri kanth vs kandula audi lakshmi - Andhra Pradesh, SUVARNA NETAJI PATIL vs SMITA ASHOK PATIL - Bombay.
Objections and Demarking - Demarking or rejecting an exhibit typically requires an objection at the time of marking. If no objection is raised during the process, the document is considered admitted into evidence, and later attempts to demark or challenge its admissibility are generally dismissed as improper or as playing fraud on the court Sofia Hasan VS Shaik Mansoor Ali - Andhra Pradesh, Paramita Dutta VS Debkalyan Roy - Telangana.
Inadmissibility of Unregistered or Insufficiently Stamped Documents - Documents that are unregistered or insufficiently stamped at the time of marking are often deemed inadmissible. For example, an unregistered relinquishment deed marked as exhibit A14 was found inadmissible under Section 17(1)(b) of the Registration Act, and similarly, documents with insufficient stamp duty are not admissible unless properly stamped or unless exceptions under the Stamp Act apply Andhra Rastriya Adi Shaiva (Archaka) Sangam VS Chundru Krishna Rao, S/o Brahmaiah - Andhra Pradesh, Jatti Veera Venkata Satyam VS Bosukonda Chinnadevi - Andhra Pradesh.
Admissibility Despite Registration Issues - Certain documents, even if unregistered or inadequately stamped, may be admitted for specific purposes under statutes like the Registration Act or the Evidence Act, but their admissibility can be challenged later if objections are raised, especially if the document's registration or stamping is a legal requirement Jatti Veera Venkata Satyam VS Bosukonda Chinnadevi - Andhra Pradesh, Paramita Dutta VS Debkalyan Roy - Telangana.
Effect of No Objection at the Time of Marking - If a document is exhibited without objection, it is generally considered admitted, and objections to its admissibility are barred unless there was a procedural flaw or fraud involved. This principle underscores the importance of raising objections immediately during the marking process Rajesh Varma VS Aminex Holdings & Investments - Bombay, Deep Pal Consultancy Pvt. Ltd. VS Uma Mukherjee - Calcutta, SUVARNA NETAJI PATIL vs SMITA ASHOK PATIL - Bombay.
Analysis and Conclusion:
The core principle across the cited cases is that once a document is marked as an exhibit without objection, it cannot be demarked or rejected later on the grounds of admissibility, registration, or stamping deficiencies. Exceptions exist where the document is inherently inadmissible due to legal requirements (e.g., registration under Section 17(1)(b)), but procedural objections at the time of marking are the primary basis for demarking. Therefore, marking a document as an exhibit effectively establishes its admissibility, and subsequent attempts to demark it are generally barred unless procedural or legal flaws are evident at the time of marking.
