IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Revision No. 3483 of 2010 Date of Decision: 25.7.2011 *** Pawan Kumar .. Petitioner Vs. Rajwant Singh .. Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE ARVIND KUMAR Present:- Mr. R.S. Dhiman, Advocate for the petitioner. Ms. Upinder Kaur, Advocate for respondent. *** ARVIND KUMAR, J. The petitioner-plaintiff, through the present revision petition, is seeking permission to cross-examine his own witness. His request has been declined by the learned trial Court by dint of order dated 23.2.2010, which has been impugned in this revision petition. Heard. It is evident from records that Ajmer Singh appeared as PW2. He is alleged to be the attesting witness of the sale-deed in dispute. Though in the examination-in-chief he supported the case of the petitioner-plaintiff, but during cross-examination he showed hostility towards the case of petitioner. In this view of the matter, to test the credibility of this witness and to part justice to the parties, it was obligatory on the part of the Court below to grant opportunity to the petitioner to conduct cross-examination upon this witness. Accordingly, the revision petition is allowed and the impugned order is set aside. The learned trial Court is directed to summon PW2 Ajmer Singh and then permit the petitioner to cross-examine him.
