IN THE HIGH COURT OF BOMBAY AT GOA WRIT PETITION NO. 97 OF 2008 MR. LOURENCO JASMINE PEREIRA AND ANR., ... Petitioners Versus MR JERONIMO PASCOAL PEREIRA ALIAS JERRY PASCOAL PEREIRA AND 4 ORS., ... Respondents Mr. P. A. Kamat, Advocate for the Petitioners. Coram:- N. A. BRITTO, J. Date:- 28th March, 2008 P.C.:- Heard Mr. P. A. Kamat, learned Counsel on behalf of the Petitioners. Challenge in this petition is to the Order dated 5-1-2008 of the learned Civil Judge, Senior Division, by which further cross-examination of the Administrator(Respondent No.1) has been disallowed. It appears that inventory proceedings are pending for the distribution of the assets left behind by the inventoried i.e. the parents of Petitioner No.1, Respondent No.1 and Respondent No.3, who are their three children. It further appears that the claim of the Petitioners is that three rooms were added by them to the suit house which belonged to their parents, the Inventariados/Inventoried and for exclusion of the said extension, an inquiry was in progress. As stated by the learned Counsel on behalf of the Petitioners the cross-examination of the Administrator began long back and then was closed. The contention is that the Administrator was not fully cross-examined because the matter was likely to be settled and therefore a further opportunity ought to have been given to the Petitioners to cross-examine the said Administrator. I am not inclined to accept such a contention. If that was the case nothing had prevented the Petitioners to seek further time for cross-examination, pending settlement. The learned trial Court has observed, and, in my view rightly, that the Petitioners had full opportunity to cross-examine the Administrator/Respondent No.1 and therefore, now cannot take shelter that he was not sufficiently cross-examined because talks for settlement were going on. The impugned Order is well within discretion of the learned trial Court and calls for no interference of this Court in its extraordinary jurisdiction. Therefore the petition is hereby dismissed in limine. N. A. BRITTO, J. RD.
