2016 (10) TMI 151 - HC - Indian LawsBouncing of cheques given by the petitioner to the respondent herein in lieu of friendly loan - Held that:- This Court appreciate with the submission of the petitioner herein that it is a settled proposition of law that the admission made by a party need not be proved. The settled proposition of law cannot be applied only for a particular party, rather it applies to all. What this Court observes from the perusal of the Undertaking dated 15.02.2013, sought to be brought on record by the respondent in his case, which is duly signed by the petitioner herein. There is admission on the part of the petitioner with regard to receipt of dasti loan of ₹ 18 lacs in cash from Harash Suri (respondent herein) and ₹ 20 lacs from Smt. Vinika Suri (Rs.11 lacs through bank transaction and balance of ₹ 9 lacs in cash). Before allowing the application under Section 311 of Cr.P.C. it is the duty of the Court to determine the relevance of any document for being brought on record and from the perusal of the impugned order, this Court observes that the learned Metropolitan Magistrate has exercised his discretion under Section 311 of Cr.P.C. while discussing the settled law that no party should suffer loss and the best possible evidence should be brought before the Court by respective parties to prove their points of contention. This Court does not find any irregularity or infirmity in the said order. It is also a settled principle that the Trial Court has been given an undoubted discretion in the matter and the discretion has to be judiciously exercised by it. In the considered opinion of this Court, once the Trial Court has exercised its discretion, it is not for this Court, to substitute its own discretion for that of the learned Metropolitan Magistrate or to examine the case on merits with a view to find out whether or not the document sought to be placed on record is relevant or not for the proper adjudication of the case. Moreover, the petitioner is already vested with a right to cross-examine the respondent in the case, therefore no question of any prejudice seems to be caused to the petitioner herein.
