IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CR No.5559 of 2010 (O&M) Date of decision : 3.2.2011 Yash Pal and another … Petitioners Versus Ram Lubhaya Saini and another …Respondents Coram: Hon’ble Mr.Justice A.N.Jindal. Present: Mr.Sandeep Arora, Advocate for the petitioner. None for the respondents. **** A.N.Jindal, J. This petition has been filed against the impugned order dated 21.1.2009 (Annexure P-1) passed by the learned Additional Civil Judge (Sr.Divn.) Gurdaspur whereby learned trial Court had closed the right of the petitioners to cross examine the witnesses without affording any opportunity. Learned counsel for the petitioners-defendants states that statements of three PWs have been recorded by the trial Court. However, the counsel for the defendants did not turn up to cross-examine the said witnesses at that time. Later, he arrived in the Court but he was not allowed to cross- examine the said witnesses. In these circumstances, this petition is disposed of with a direction to the trial Court to provide one opportunity to the petitioners to cross-examine the aforesaid witnesses of the plaintiff-respondent No.1 subject to payment of costs of Rs.10,000/-. (A.N.Jindal) Judge 03.02.2011 sd
