In the aforesaid order, the application filed by the petitioner/plaintiff, seeking for reception of additional documents, has been partly allowed by granting leave for the petitioner/plaintiff to file document Nos.1 to 7 and 9 to 11 subject to admissibility in evidence. But however, in so far as the document No.8 (Settlement deed) is concerned, I.A.

When the document conveys immovable property, as rightly pointed out by the trial Court, it requires registration, and it has to be properly stamped.
