THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE K.C. BHANU CIVIL REVISION PETITION No.42 OF 2007 ORDER: This Civil Revision Petition, under Article 227 of the Constitution of India, is directed against the order, dated 28.11.2006, in I.A.No.1429 of 2006 in O.S.Nos.95 of 2001 and 687 of 2003, on the file of the Principal Junior Civil Judge, Srikakulam, whereunder and whereby, the petition filed by the petitioner/plaintiff to reopen plaintiff’s side evidence and permit him to adduce additional evidence, was dismissed, on the ground that the matter is posted for arguments and the petition is filed at a belated stage. 2. Heard. 3. Petitioner herein is the plaintiff and the respondents herein are the defendants in the Original Suit. As seen from the impugned order, it is clear that at the request of the petitioner/plaintiff’s counsel in the trial Court, plaintiff’s side evidence was closed on 23.02.2006 and it was posted to 28.02.2006 for defendants’ evidence. When the defendants’ evidence was also closed and the matter was coming up for arguments, at that stage, the present petition was filed by the plaintiff to reopen plaintiff’s side evidence. No reason whatsoever is assigned in the affidavit filed in support of the petition to show as to why the examination of some witness proposed to be examined is very much essential for adjudication of the dispute. Name of the witness sought to be examined has not been stated and there is no pleading as to on which ground the witness was sought to be examined. The Original Suits are of the year 2001 and 2003. As seen from the impugned order, the petition appears to have been filed only to drag on the proceedings. Hence, there are no grounds to set aside the impugned order. The petition is devoid of merit and is liable to be dismissed. 4. Accordingly, the Civil Revision Petition is dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________ K.C.
