The petitioner (plaintiff) filed an application before the trial court, with the prayer that, “some medical expert should be appointed as Local Commissioner and a report be called from local commissioner whether defendant no.2 is mentally sound or not”. The trial court has dismissed the application by observing, inter-alia, as under:- “..... In this case the plaintiff has already examined Dr.Sudhir Godiyal. But despite examining of Dr.Sudhir Godiyal the plaintiff is pressing for appointment of local commissioner on the ground that the report of above said doctor is not available and the defendant no.2 is not in the custody of the plaintiff.......” The petition deserves to be dismissed, in limine.
