Opp. Party 1st Set. 2. Raju Ranjan Kumar, son of Rama Shankar Prasad and adopted son of late Nag Narain Prasad, resident of village, P.O. & P.S. Bagha Bazar (Bagha), District- West Champaran. .....Defendant 1st party--- Opp. 2nd Party ----------- 03- 3.8.2010 Heard Mr. K.K. Tiwary for the petitioner. Defendant no.2 of Title Suit No.61 of 1996 (Nag Narain Prasad Vs. Raju Ranjan Kumar), has filed this application under Section 115 of the Code of Civil Procedure. It is directed against the order dated 7.1.2008, passed by the learned Munsif, Bagaha, whereby the application of defendant no.2 to produce more witnesses has been rejected. 2. We have perused the materials on record and considered the submissions of learned counsel for the parties. Defendant no.1 is the son, and defendant no.2 (the petitioner herein) is his father. The suit has been instituted for declaration that defendant no.1 is not the adopted son of the plaintiff. After the plaintiff closed her evidence, defendant no.2 produced a number of witnesses and closed his 2 evidence. Defendant no.1 started leading evidence, whereafter defendant no.2 filed an application that he may be allowed to lead further evidence. The application has been rejected by the impugned order on the ground that this appears to be a tactics on his part to delay disposal of the suit. He has further observed that defendant no.1 is leading his evidence fully supported by defendant no.2. In other words, the two defendants are jointly defending the suit. We, therefore, agree with the order of the learned trial court. It is not a bona-fide application. This civil revision application is rejected. (S K Katriar, J.) S.K.Pathak/
