THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA C.R.P. Nos. 3379, 3380 and 3405 of 2011 Common order: These three civil revision petitions are directed against the orders dated 19.10.2010 passed by the I Additional Junior Civil Judge, Chittoor, dismissing the applications in I.A. Nos. 256, 257 and 258 of 2009 in O.S. No. 719 of 2001, filed by the petitioners praying to re-open the suit and to recall D.W.1 for further cross-examination and receive the documents in evidence. The learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that the petitioners with great difficulty obtained the earlier title deeds and sale deeds concerning the property covered by Exs.B5 and B6 and they want to confront the same to D.W.1, and as such, it is necessary that the suit should be re-opened and D.W.1 recalled for further cross- examination and the documents received in evidence, but the Court below committed an error in dismissing the applications filed by the petitioners for the said purpose. He thus prayed that the orders under revision be set aside and the civil revision petitions be allowed. On the other hand, the learned counsel appearing for respondents 4 and 5 supported the orders under revision and submitted that earlier similar applications filed by the petitioners after closure of evidence were allowed, and thereafter, after closure of evidence and arguments were heard, the suit is reserved for judgment, and at that stage, the petitioners again filed the present applications with an intention to drag the proceedings, and the Court below was justified in dismissing the applications, and no interference is warranted with the orders under revision. Heard the counsel for the petitioners and the counsel for respondents 4 and 5. A perusal of the orders under revision would disclose that in the year 2008 itself, the evidence of the parties was closed and the matter was posted for arguments. At that point of time, the petitioners filed applications in I.A. Nos. 198 of 2008 and 300 of 2008 praying the Court to re-open the suit, recall D.W.1 for further cross-examination and to receive the documents. The said applications were allowed on 10.11.2008. Thereafter, the suit was re-opened and D.W.1, who was recalled, was cross-examined at length and documents were also marked. Thereafter, while the matter is posted for arguments, the petitioners again filed interlocutory applications praying the Court to recall P.W.1 for further evidence and to receive documents, and the said applications were also allowed. Thereafter, while the suit was reserved for judgment, after closure of evidence and arguments were heard, the petitioners again filed the present applications. The petitioners, in the affidavits filed in support of the present applications, except stating that D.W.1 admitted that he was in possession of the earlier sale deeds relating to Exs.B5 and B6, but he did not produce them, and that they obtained the same with great difficulty, and that they are essential for just decision, and as such, it is necessary that the suit should be re-opened and D.W.1 recalled for further cross- examination and the documents received in evidence, have not explained why they did not produce the documents at an earlier point of time, even though the evidence of the parties was closed and subsequently similar applications filed by them, were allowed. In the absence of any reason assigned by the petitioners explaining as to why they could not produce the documents for confronting to D.W.1, even though he was cross-examined twice, once during the original trial and subsequently when their similar applications were allowed, I am of the considered opinion that no exception can be taken to the orders under revision passed by the Court below, dismissing the present applications filed by the petitioners. For the foregoing reasons, I find no reason whatsoever to interfere with the orders under revision in exercise of supervisory jurisdiction of this Court under Article 227 of the Constitution of India. The civil revision petitions are accordingly dismissed. No costs. __________________ JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA 9th December, 2011 IBL
