JUSTICE HEMANT GUPTA Present: - Mr. V. Ramswaroop, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. J.S. Cooner, Advocate for respondents No. 1 to 4. HEMANT GUPTA, J (ORAL) The challenge in the revision petition is to the order passed by the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Mohali on 22.4.2010, wherein application filed by the petitioner for re-summoning of the witness (PW-1) for further cross examination, was dismissed. The claimant-respondents have sought compensation on account of death of Pardeep Singh husband of Baljeet Kaur @ Balbir Kaur- claimant No. 1. Baljeet Kaur appeared as PW-1 on 18.11.2009. Her cross examination was completed by learned counsel for the petitioner. An application for recall of witness for further cross-examination was filed on 7.4.2010, which has been declined by the learned Tribunal vide order dated 22.4.2010. It has been found that whether any document produced by the witness has been produced as per law or not, will be seen at the time of final decision of the case but the petitioner has not made out any case for recall of the witness. CR No. 4361 of 21010 -2- It was open to the petitioner to conduct cross-examination of the witness when the witness was being examined. Once the process of cross-examination has been completed, the witness cannot be recalled for further cross-examination. In view of the above, I do not find any illegality or irregularity in the order passed by the learned Tribunal. Dismissed with costs, tendered by the petitioner be disbursed to respondents, as cost of the revision petition. (HEMANT GUPTA) JUDGE 29.7.2010 preeti
