relief granted - beyond the prayer of petition - not valid =the prayer in I.A.No.1108 of 2015 is for production of some documents and the 1 st respondent has stated no objection to allow the application filed by the petitioner, on the condition that votes polled ballot papers are also called for. The Court below not only allowed the application for production of documents mentioned in the petition, but also called for the votes polled ballot papers, though it is not the prayer of the petitioner. If the 1 st respondent wants production of votes polled ballot paper, he should have made an independent application making out a case in support of the same. But he cannot seek such a relief in the petition filed by the petitioner. In view of the same, the impugned order is set aside to the extent of production of votes polled ballot papers.

But he cannot seek such a relief in the petition filed by the petitioner. 
In view of the same, the impugned order is set aside to the extent of production of votes polled ballot papers. Accordingly, the Civil Revision Petition is allowed to the extent indicated above. However, it is open for the 1 st respondent to make independent application, if he wants votes polled ballot papers to be produced.
