( 1 ) IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF BOMBAY BENCH AT AURANGABAD WRIT PETITION NO. 7367 OF 2010 Kisanrao s/o Manikrao Khopade PETITIONER VERSUS Meshodevi Manoharlal Mandan RESPONDENT .... Mrs. C.S. Deshmukh, advocate for the petitioner. .... [CORAM : V.R. KINGAONKAR, J.] [DATE : 17th August, 2010] PER COURT : 1. Heard learned counsel. 2. The petition is filed against order dated 15th June, 2010 whereby application seeking interrogatories under Order- XI Rule-2 of the Code of Civil Procedure, filed in the suit (R.C.S. No. 83/2009), came to be dismissed. 3. The petitioner is original defendant. The application for interrogatories was filed on 3rd March, 2010. The written statement was filed on 1st August, 2009. The issues were framed by the trial Court much prior to filing of ( 2 ) such application and at the stage of trial, after the respondent/plaintiff filed affidavit. Instead of his examination-in-chief, such application was moved. Considering the tenor of the application, it is amply clear that the interrogatories are in the nature of the questions which are to be put in the cross-examination. The petitioner can avail liberty to cross-examine the respondent and get the fact situation clarified. No interference is called for. Petition is dismissed. [V.R. KINGAONKAR] JUDGE NPJ/wp7367-10
