3. Needless to say, the learned Trial Court has, merely, allowed the application moved under Order VII Rule 14 CPC read with Section 151 CPC filed by the plaintiff and the documents permitted to be placed on record are still required to be proved in accordance with law and in the aspect related to its exhibition and admissibly in law are still very much open.

4. As regard the other application which the plaintiff had moved under Order XI Rule 14 CPC read with Section 151 CPC, the learned counsel for petitioner, after hearing some argument, does not press the order passed there under either. He, however, submits that while he would also place on record the documents in terms of the abovesaid order, the plaintiff may also be directed to place on record the documents which contain admitted signatures of Mr. Hari Shankar Aggarwal, so that, if required the petitioner is also in a position to take expert opinion.
5. Learned counsel for respondent/plaintiff submits that he has no objection to the abovesaid and would place on record documents containing admitted signatures of Mr. Hari Shankar Aggarwal.
