Respondent Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice A.N. Jindal Present: Mr. Amit Jaiswal, Advocate for the petitioners. A.N. Jindal, J Called in question is the order dated 2.3.2007 passed by the Civil Judge (Sr. Division), Jalandhar, whereby on failure to cross examine Davinder Kaur (PW1), by the defendant, the cross examination was ordered to be treated as “nil”. Learned counsel for the petitioner has stated that since the counsel for the defendant was out of station, therefore, he could not reach the court in time, therefore, cross examination could not be completed. In this regard, it may be observed that party should not suffer for the fault on the part of the counsel, as such the instant petition is disposed of with a direction that the petitioner would cross examine the witness on the next date i.e. 6.5.2009 or within one month from today subject to payment of Rs.5000/- as costs. This petition is disposed of without issuing notice to the respondent with a view to impart complete justice to the parties and to save the huge expenses, which may be incurred by the respondent as also in order to avoid unnecessary delay in adjudication of the matter. Still, if dissatisfied, the respondent may move to this court for recalling this order. May 01, 2009 (A.N. Jindal) deepak Judge
