Effect of non-production of documents [Repealed]
Full Text
[Effect of non-production of documents.]—Repealed by the Code of Civil Procedure (Amendment) Act, 1999 (46 of 1999), s. 23 (w.e.f. 1-7-2002).
Plain English Summary
Rule 2, which previously permitted belated production of documents upon showing 'good cause', was repealed by the 1999 CPC Amendment to eliminate pre-trial delays, with belated production now governed by Order VII Rule 14 and Order VIII Rule 1A.
Key Legal Elements
- Historical Provision: Permitted belated document production upon showing good cause.
- Repealed by Act 46 of 1999 (w.e.f. 1-7-2002): Repeal aimed at preventing trial derailment.
- Successor Regime: Belated production requires leave under Order VII Rule 14(3) (plaintiff) or Order VIII Rule 1A(3) (defendant).
Practical Note
Procedural Trap: Do not cite repealed 'Order XIII Rule 2' when seeking leave to produce additional documents; cite Order VII Rule 14(3) or Order VIII Rule 1A(3) read with Section 151 CPC.
