SHAMSHAD BIBI VS RIASAT ALI O. XLI, R. 27---Powers of appellate Court to allow additional evidence---Scope---Power under Order XLI Rule 27 of the C.P.C. is not intended to be exercised to fill up lacunas, or to make up any deficiency, in the case, nor to provide an opportunity to the party to raise a new plea---Said power essentially has to be exercised cautiously and sparingly and not to facilitate an indolent litigant---Court before exercising its jurisdiction of allowing the recording of additional evidence, must be satisfied that the document sought to be adduced in evidence is not of the nature that could be easily fabricated, tampered or manufactured.
