Order Date: 06 July 2026

Parties: Plaintiff Anoop Jain vs Defendant Olina Professional Cosmetics Pvt. Ltd (Civil Suit No.19 of 2014).
Application OMP No.1280 of 2025 filed under Order VIII Rule 1A(3) CPC to place on record Board Resolution dated 18‑Feb‑2013 revoking former director Vikas Jain’s signing authority.
Plaintiff objected, arguing the document was introduced late, violating Order 13 Rule 1 CPC and that the defendant had not listed it in its written statement.
Defendant produced witness Satish Kumar (DW‑3) who exhibited the resolution (Ext. DW3/1). Vikas Jain (PW‑3) admitted his removal as director in January 2019.
Court examined provisions of Order 8 Rule 1A and Supreme Court judgment in Sugandhi (2020) regarding discretionary admission of documents.

Court permitted the defendant to admit the Board Resolution dated 18‑Feb‑2013, subject to payment of costs of Rs 20,000 by the defendant.
Plaintiff is free to raise all legal grounds concerning admissibility during cross‑examination of DW‑3.
Payment of costs is a condition precedent to further prosecution of the defence.
Application disposed; cross‑examination of defendant’s witnesses scheduled for 21‑Jul‑2026 before the Additional Registrar (Judicial).
