IN THE HIGH COURT OF BOMBAY AT GOA MISC.CIVIL APPLICATION NO. 462 OF 2009 IN WRIT PETITION NO. 43 OF 2009 SHRI. JOAQUIM FILIPE AFONSO AND ANR., ... Applicants Versus ANA PRAXEDES DA PIEDADE PINTO ALIAS ANITA PINTO REPRESENTED BY ZEENA FERNANDES ... Respondent Mr. Siddharth Kashalkar,Advocate for the applicants. Mr. A. F. Diniz, Advocate for the respondent. Coram:- U. D. SALVI, J. Date:- 22nd June, 2009 P.C. Heard. Perused the application and the accompanying documents. The order dated 12.06.2009, modification of which is now being sought, reveals that an opportunity was given to the petitioners to cross-examine P.W.1, Zeena Fernandes,next friend of the respondent, an old ailing Anita Pinto only with a view to move the trial of the suit towards just end expeditiously. 2. Now, it is being urged that the cross-examination of P.W.1, Zeena Fernandes could not be commenced on the given date i.e. on Tuesday, 16.06.2009 as some time was needed and, thereafter, the petitioners disengaged their Advocate for some reasons. According to the learned Advocate Diniz for the respondent, an opportunity to cross-examine the witness was afforded on the statement made by the petitioners that an appropriate arrangement to conclude the cross-examination within a week will be made and extension of any further time to cross-examine the witness, would mean the abuse of the process of law. 3. The cross-examination of P.W.1, Zeena Fernandes was to be concluded on or before 22.06.2009 vide order in earlier writ petition. Certainly, looking to the opportunity given to the petitioners, there is sense in the submission made on behalf of the respondent. The application is, therefore, rejected. However, liberty is given to the Trial Court to consider the completion of the recording of the evidence of P.W.1, Zeena Fernandes on or before 25.06.2009. The petitioners shall pay costs of Rs.5,000/- to the respondent. U. D. SALVI, J. SMA
