Rule 9 of CPC : Rule 9: Return of admitted documents.

Explanation using Example

Example 1:

Scenario: Rajesh files a civil suit against his neighbor, Suresh, for encroaching on his property. During the trial, Rajesh submits the original sale deed of his property as evidence. The court admits the document and places it on the record.

Application of Rule 9:

• When the suit is disposed of without an appeal: The court rules in favor of Rajesh, and Suresh does not appeal the decision. Rajesh can apply to the court to get his original sale deed back once the suit is disposed of.
• When the suit is disposed of with an appeal: If Suresh decides to appeal the decision, Rajesh can only get his original sale deed back after the appeal is resolved and no further appeals are filed.

Early Return of Document:
