THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN CIVIL REVISION PETITION NO.5361 OF 2011 ORDER: The order under revision is the order passed by the I Addl. Junior Civil Judge, Nellore in I.A.No.193 of 2011 in O.S.No.41 of 2005 dated 30.5.2011. By the impugned order the Learned Judge allowed the application observing: “Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, this Court feels that it is just and necessary to give ample opportunity to the parties to adduce evidence to prove their case.” While it is no doubt true that, under Order 18 Rule 17, the Court may, at any stage, recall any witness who has been examined and may put such questions to him as the Court thinks fit, the order of the Court should at least indicate reasons as to why it considered it necessary, (more so, on an application filed by the defendant), that D.W.1 should be recalled and examined. The discretionary power conferred on the court by order 18 Rule 17, is hedged by the requirement of assigning reasons and, since the impugned order is bereft of reasons, it must be set aside. Both Sri M.Ramalingeswara Reddy, Learned Counsel for the petitioner and Sri P.Raghavendra Reddy, Learned Counsel for the respondent would seek to make submissions on merits. I see no reason to examine the contentions urged by counsel on either side since none of these contentions are recorded in the order of the Court below. The jurisdiction which this Court exercises under Article 227 of the Constitution is supervisory and not appellate. Since the order of the Court below is totally bereft of reasons it is accordingly set aside. The Court below shall hear the I.A. afresh, and pass a reasoned order in accordance with law. It is made clear that parties on either side are entitled to file additional affidavits if they so choose. Since the suit relates to the year 2005, it is but appropriate that the Court below disposes of the I.A. within two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The C.R.P. is, accordingly, allowed. ____________ 30-12-2011 Note: Issue C.C. in one week B/o asp
