Bedre, Adv. for petitioner. Mr. N.V. Gaware adv. for respondent. CORAM : R. M. BORDE, J. DATE : 9TH NOVEMBER, 2009. 1. The application presented by the petitioner herein - original defendant requesting the court to issue witness summons to the witnesses came to be rejected by the Court. However, court has given liberty to the petitioner to keep the witnesses present for the purpose of examination. According to the petitioner, presence of the witnesses namely Branch Manager, Nasik Merchant Cooperative Bank Limited, Ahmednagar and Branch Manager Ahmed City Cooperative Bank Limited is required to be secured through the process of the court. The petitioner however, makes a statement that other two witnesses named in the application would be kept present for the purpose of examination by him. Considering all the relevant circumstances, I deem it appropriate to extend an opportunity to petitioner to 2 produce evidence before trial court. 2. The application tendered by the petitioner herein- original defendant is opposed vehemently by the respondent contending that this is an attempt by the plaintiff to protract the proceedings. In the circumstances, therefore, directions are required to be issued for expeditious disposal of the suit. The trial court is directed to issue witness summons to witnesses named at Sr.No.1 and 3 in application presented by the defendant on 22.01.2009 requiring their presence for examination before the court on the prescribed date. However, petitioner shall secure the presence of other witnesses named in the application and may examine them. With these observations, petition stand disposed off. Trial Court is directed to decide the pending suit as expeditiously as possible preferably within three months from today. [ R. M. BORDE, J. ] ... Dt : 09.11.2009 aaa/1521.09
