PETITIONER(s) Versus M/s Luxmi Industries, Jalalabad. ...... RESPONDENT (s) CORAM:- HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE RAM CHAND GUPTA Present: Mr. A.D.S.Sukhija, Advocate for the petitioners. None for the respondent. ***** RAM CHAND GUPTA, J.(Oral) The present revision petition has been filed under Article 227 of the Constitution of India for setting aside impugned order dated 25.10.2010 passed by learned Civil Judge(Senior Division), Ferozepur vide which evidence of petitioners-plaintiffs, was closed. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioners and have gone through the whole record including the impugned order passed by learned trial Court. CR No.7972 of 2010 It has been contended by learned counsel for the petitioners that only one witness, namely, PW1 N.C.Rana remains to be cross-examined on behalf of respondent-defendant. It is further contended that his cross- examination was deferred at the request of counsel for the defendant as is clear from order dated 12.10.2010 passed by learned trial Court. It is further contended that on the next date i.e. 25.10.2010, when the impugned order was passed, he could not appear as his mother had expired on 23.10.2010 and however, without considering the said fact learned trial Court has closed evidence of petitioners-plaintiffs. In view of these facts, one opportunity can be granted to petitioners to produce the said witness, PW1 N.C.Rana for the purpose of cross-examination by counsel for the defendant so that his statement be read in evidence. However, in view of the fact that earlier, sufficient opportunities had been availed by petitioners-plaintiffs, the other party can be compensated by way of cost. Hence, in view of aforementioned facts, the present revision petition is accepted. Impugned order is set aside. Learned trial Court is directed to grant one effective opportunity to petitioners to produce PW1 N.C.Rana for the purpose of cross-examination by counsel for the defendant subject to payment of cost of `2,000/-, which shall be a condition precedent. Disposed of accordingly. ( RAM CHAND GUPTA ) April 29, 2011. JUDGE 'om' 2
