IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH C.R. No. 1473 of 2010 (O&M) Date of Decision: 5.3.2010 Sarain Singh ....Petitioner Versus Kulvinder Singh ...Respondent CORAM : Hon'ble Mr. Justice Rajesh Bindal Present:- Mr. Munish Garg, Advocate for the petitioner. RAJESH BINDAL, J **** Prayer in the present petition is for setting aside of order dated 8.1.2010 passed by the learned Court below whereby the application filed by the petitioner/defendant for re-summoning the respondent/plaintiff for further cross- examination has been dismissed. It is not disputed in the present case that the respondent/plaintiff though initially filed suit through special power of attorney Sh. Nirmal Singh but subsequently himself had appeared in the court in support of the claim, as PW1. He was even cross-examined by the counsel for petitioner/defendant. An application was filed for re-examining him for further cross-examination on the ground that certain questions regarding the power of attorney holder were required to be put to him which could not be done as the power of attorney holder was not there. Learned Court below dismissed the prayer holding that the plaintiff when himself appeared as PW1 was cross-examined in detail by the counsel for the petitioner/defendant on April 23, 2008. Thereafter the evidence of the plaintiff was closed on November 15, 2008 and the case was fixed for petitioner's/defendant's evidence. However, in spite of four effective adjournments no evidence was led and ultimately the application was filed for re- summoning the plaintiff. Considering stage of the case and also that the respondent/plaintiff had already been cross-examined at length there is no need for recalling him for further cross-examination for putting him some questions regarding the power of attorney holder merely because a suit initially was filed through power of attorney holder. The revision petition is accordingly dismissed. (RAJESH BINDAL) 5.3.2010 JUDGE Reema
