Chanda, for the petitioner. Mr. Suresh Shrimali, for the respondent. The petitioner is challenging the order dated 24.9.2007 passed by the learned Rent Tribunal, Bhilwara whereby application filed along with affidavit by the petitioner was rejected. The petitioner has filed an application for taking additional affidavits on record. The said application was rejected only on the ground that the application was filed at 4.15 P.M. whereas the order for closing the opportunity of cross examination was passed at 4.10 P.M. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the reason for rejecting the application is not proper, so also it is submitted that the Rent Tribunal is hearing the matters of Rent tribunal after 2.00 O' Clock. Therefore, in the interest of justice, last opportunity may be given and learned trial Court may be directed to take additional affidavit on record while allowing the opportunity of cross examination to the non-petitioners. In the interest of justice, while quashing the order dated 24.9.2007, application filed by the petitioner for taking additional affidavits on record is allowed and one opportunity is granted to the petitioner to produce witnesses before the Court for cross examination. Before that, he may supply the copy of the additional affidavits to the counsel for the non-petitioner. Learned trial Court is directed to allow the opportunity of cross examination to non-petitioners on the next date of hearing. On that day, the non-petitioner may cross examine the witnesses. The petitioner may pay cost of Rs.2000/- to the non-petitioner. The writ petition stands disposed of. [GOPAL KRISHAN VYAS],J. Praveen
