JUSTICE ARVIND KUMAR Present: Mr. T.P.Singh, Advocate for the petitioner ... ARVIND KUMAR, J: The present petitioner is the defendant in the suit for recovery titled as Amolak Singh v. Tirlok Singh. On 12.2.2011, Dr. Inderjit Singh, Hand-writing Expert, was present for his cross-examination but an application was filed for deferring the cross-examination and it was so deferred subject to payment of costs of Rs.1000/- and the case was adjourned to 26.2.2011 with last opportunity. On that date, an application was filed for review of earlier order asking for waiver of costs of Rs.1000/-. The said application has been dismissed vide impugned order dated 2.4.2011 passed by the Additional Civil Judge (Jr.Division), Sunam. Hence, this revision. Heard. The impugned order indicates that the counsel was present and he requested the Court to start the cross-examination but was told that some other case was in progress and in the meantime, the counsel left. The expert witness was not only present but also waited till 4 PM and had come after deposit of TA/DA; however, he was not cross-examined despite the fact, as indicated above, that the counsel was present but had not waited for his turn to come. In this back-drop, the costs of Rs.1000/- C.R. No. 3113 of 2011 -2- imposed is not excessive and there is no ground for its waiver as well. The revision petition is dismissed.
