IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Date of Decision : 22.11.2010 C.R.No.7630 of 2010 Netar Singh ...Petitioner Versus Joginder Singh and others ...Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE HEMANT GUPTA Present : Mr. S.S.Salar, Advocate, for the petitioner. HEMANT GUPTA, J. (Oral) The petitioner-plaintiff challenges the order passed by the learned trial Court on 09.11.2010, whereby the case is fixed for further cross-examination of plaintiff on 29.11.2010 while declining the opportunity to the plaintiff to examine the Hand-Writing and Finger Print Expert and Parminder Singh. Learned counsel for the petitioner contends that on 08.10.2010 Parminder Singh and Navdeep Gupta, Hand-Writing and Finger Print Expert were present in Court, but the same were not cross-examined by the counsel for the defendants and the witnesses were bound-down for 09.11.2010. However, on the said date, the witnesses could not be present, which led to the order passed by the learned trial Court closing the evidence of the plaintiff except for further cross-examination of the plaintiff. It is pointed out that the Expert will be available at Malerkotla on 26.11.2010 and if the case is fixed on the said date, the plaintiff shall produce the C.R.No.7630 of 2010 aforesaid witness on the said date and examine Parminder Singh on the date already fixed i.e. 29.11.2010. Since earlier the Expert was not cross-examined by the defendants on 08.10.2010, I am of the opinion that the interest of justice would be met if the plaintiff is permitted to produce the Expert on 26.11.2010 keeping in view the convenience of the witness and of the parties. Such process will advance the cause of justice as well. On the other hand, Parminder Singh can be permitted to be examined on the date fixed i.e. 29.11.2010. In view of the above, the present revision petition is disposed of with a direction to the learned trial Court to examine Navdeep Gupta, Hand-Writing and Finger Print Expert on 26.11.2010 and Parminder Singh on 29.11.2010. The learned trial Court shall provide necessary assistance to the plaintiff to secure the presence of the witnesses on the date fixed. A copy of the order be given dasti under the signatures of the Special Secretary attached to this Bench. 22.11.2010 (HEMANT GUPTA) Vimal JUDGE 2
