ARVIND KUMAR, J: The present petitioner is the defendant in the suit for recovery titled as Deepak Trading Company through its proprietor Pawan Kumar v. Mohinder Singh. He is aggrieved with order dated 23.2.2011 vide which the cross-examination of PW Pawan Kumar was treated as Nil and also against order dated 28.4.2011 by dint of which his application for review of the afore-said order dated 23.2.2011 has been dismissed. Counsel for the petitioner prays for only one opportunity for which the petitioner is ready to pay heavy costs to the opposite side. PW- Pawan Kumar is the plaintiff. For want of his cross-examination, the defendant shall suffer an irreparable loss. Rules and procedure are hand- maid of justice and are meant to enhance it and not to scuttle the same. The impugned order is set aside and the petitioner is afforded one opportunity to cross-examine PW Pawan Kumar. The order is subject to payment of costs of Rs.20,000/- to be paid to the other side at the time of evidence before the trial Court. Keeping in view the circumstances mentioned above, this revision is being disposed of without issuing any notice to the opposite party. If the respondent is summoned to contest this litigation, they will have to incur huge expenses to defend this case. However, liberty is C.R. No. 3121 of 2011 -2- granted to the respondent that if they feel dissatisfied with this order, they may move an application to recall the same. The petition stands disposed of accordingly.
