THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE B.PRAKASH RAO CIVIL REVISION PETITION NO.1683 OF 2009 ORDER: The petitioner-defendant No.2 filed this revision under Article 227 of the Constitution of India, inter alia, seeking to assail the correctness of the order dated 23.03.2009 passed in I.A.No.206 of 2009 in O.S.No.86 of 1999 on the file of the Junior Civil Judge, Palakole, West Godavari District, in dismissing the petition filed under Order XVI Rule 7 read with Section 151 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, seeking to summon the Retired Mandal Surveyor, Sri Kankatala Garigisetti, who was present at the time of commission warrant and to examine him. The Court below dismissed the said petition on the ground that he does not hold the position of an official witness. It is to be seen that a witness is a witness, whether official or nonofficial. It is only the relevancy, which is necessarily to be taken into consideration at the time of recording the evidence but not otherwise. In the circumstances, the Civil Revision Petition is allowed and the order dated 23.03.2009 is set aside. Consequently, I.A.No.206 of 2009 is allowed. further, it is always open to both the sides to lead fresh evidence, if any. No costs. _________________ (B.PRAKASH RAO, J) 23rd December 2010 RRB
