The documents produced before the DRT as well as DRAT ought to have been appreciated in their proper perspective by them – Central Bank of India Vs. The DRAT at Allahabad and Others – Madhya Pradesh High Court
The Court held that considering the nature of dispute between the parties, the stakes involved, and for a fair an just determination of all the disputes, the DRT ought to have ensured that the entire material was placed before it for proper adjudication. The documents produced before the DRT as well as DRAT ought to have been appreciated in their proper perspective by them. The DRT has, however, failed to do so and the DRAT has also, in a very cursory manner, affirmed the findings of the DRT which is highly improper. In view of the factual controversies as are involved in this case we deem it fit and proper that the DRT ought to consider the material already on record in a proper detailed manner and the Bank deserves to be granted an opportunity to place such further documents on record as may be deemed fit in proof of their pleadings.
