This revision petition under Article 227 of the Constitution of India has been filed for setting aside order dated 28.4.2010 passed by the Additional Civil Judge (Senior Division), Kapurthala vide which the application dated 12.4.2010 moved by petitioner-defendant no. 1 and respondents-defendant nos. 23, 24, 43 and 44 seeking permission to cross- examine DW20 - Paramjit Singh was dismissed. At the hearing, learned counsel for the petitioner contended that since the suit itself has been decided during the pendency of these C.R. No.3077 of 2010 (O&M) -2- .... proceedings, the instant petition has been rendered infructuous. He, however, prayed that since the right of the petitioner to cross-examine a witness has been negated by the impugned order, it may be permitted to rake up this plea before the appellate Court. Having regard to the aforesaid, the present petition is disposed of as infructuous with an observation that the petitioner may agitate its grievance before the appellate Court.
