JUSTICE SABINA Present: Mr.J.S.Cooner, Advocate for the petitioner. **** SABINA, J. Petitioners filed a suit for possession by way of specific performance of agreement to sell dated 20.2.2004. Notice of the suit was issued to the defendants. After the completion of pleadings, issues were framed by the trial Court. Thereafter, petitioners led their evidence in affirmative. Defendants also concluded their evidence. When the case was listed for rebuttal evidence, application was filed by the petitioners for permission to lead additional evidence and examine a handwriting expert to prove the thumb impression of defendant No.1 on the agreement to sell in question. Vide the impugned order dated 6.1.2011, the said application was dismissed by the trial Court. Hence, the present petition. Civil Revision No. 245 of 2011 -2- After hearing learned counsel for the petitioner, I am of the opinion that the present petition deserves dismissal. The application for permission to lead additional evidence has been filed by the petitioners when the case was listed for rebuttal evidence. The petitioners knew their case and should have examined the handwriting expert while they were leading their evidence in the affirmative. Defendant No.1, while appearing in the witness box, has denied his thumb impression on the agreement to sell but has not examined any expert to substantiate his plea. In these circumstances, the impugned order does not call for any interference. Dismissed. (SABINA) JUDGE January 14, 2011 anita
