Civil Rev. 4440 of2008 1 IN THE PUNJAB AND HARYANA HIGH COURT, CHANDIGARH Civil Rev. 4440 of2008 Date of decision: 30.7.2009 Suman Gandhi Petitioner vs Mahabir Singh Chauhan& Ors Respondent Present Mr. NK Suneja, Advocate Mr.Sanjay Vij, Advocate. M.M.S.BEDI,J. The petitioner has preferred this revision petition against the order dated 31.7.2008 passed by the learned MACT, Gurgaon whereby her application for recalling respondent No.1 for further cross-examination has been declined. Learned counsel for respondent No.1 has vehemently opposed the petition contending that there is nothing more required to be asked from the claimant in the cross-examination as he has already been cross-examined at length. However, learned counsel submits that inconvenience will be caused to the respondent No.1-claimant by appearing again for cross-examination. After hearing learned counsel for the parties, it appears that the claimant, who has already withstood the cross-examination is ready to face further cross-examination subject to the condition that only questions, which are lawful in cross-examination as per Sections 146 and 149 of the Indian Evidence Act are put to him with his right for re-examination with the permission of the court as per the provisions of Sections 137 and 138 of Civil Rev. 4440 of2008 2 the Indian Evidence Act. Learned counsel for the respondent No.1 has contended that the respondent No.1 -claimant may be compensated for the inconvenience being caused to him. Accordingly, the revision petition is allowed, order dated 31.7.2008 is hereby set aside and it is ordered that the claimant will be permitted to be further cross-examined subject to payment of costs of Rs.1,000/-. The costs will be paid on the next date of hearing, fixed before the learned MACT, Gurgaon or any short date given by it. The parties are directed to appear before the learned MACT, Gurgaon on 5.9.2009 for further proceedings in accordance with law. July 30 ,2009 ( M.M.S.BEDI ) TSM JUDGE
