Supporting Evidence
Having considered the materials on record and rival contentions of both sides, I find substance in the argument raised by the petitioners that if the plaintiffs begin the evidence first, before mounting the box, they would not get the opportunity to peruse and go into the documents which will be offered before the Court by the defendants only during evidence.
Judgment Evidence:
In the result, the petition is allowed. No order as to costs.
