Gagandeep and others …..Respondents CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE M.M.S. BEDI. -.- Present:- Mr. H.S. Batth, Advocate for the petitioners. -.- M.M.S. BEDI, J. (ORAL) A perusal of the order dated May 25, 2011 indicates that in a suit field by the plaintiff- petitioners for recovery of damages on account of injuries received by the plaintiffs, they have not been given an opportunity to cross-examine DW2, DW3 and DW4 as counsel for the plaintiff- appellants, who had been engaged that very day was not prepared to cross- examine the witnesses. C.R. No. 3634 of 2011 [2] No doubt, engagement of a new counsel on May 25, 2011 by the plaintiff- appellants is not a ground to defer the cross-examination of the witnesses present on that day but in the interest of justice, the plaintiffs can be given an opportunity to cross-examine DW2, DW3 and DW4 subject to payment of cost of Rs.2500/- to each of the witnesses. The revision petition is disposed of in limine. The order dated May 25, 2011 is hereby set aside with a direction that the plaintiff- petitioners will deposit a sum of Rs.7500/- with the trial Court by July 19, 2011. The trial Court will re-summon DW2, DW3 an DW4 by fixing one date of hearing to enable the counsel for the appellants to cross-examine them. It is made clear that in case the total sum of Rs.7500/- is not deposited, the present revision petition will be deemed to have been dismissed. The amount deposited will be disbursed to the three defendant- witnesses by the Court. May 31, 2011 (M.M.S.BEDI) sanjay JUDGE
