Paramjit Kaur …..Respondent CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE M.M.S. BEDI. -.- Present:- Mr. P.S. Punia, Advocate for the petitioner. -.- M.M.S. BEDI, J. (ORAL) Counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner seeks only one opportunity to complete the cross-examination of respondent Paramjit Kaur. The next date of hearting before the trial Court is September 18, 2009, for DWs. I am satisfied from the impugned order and other documents placed on record that the petitioner had been intentionally dillydallying the cross-examination of plaintiff- respondent who happens to be his real sister C.R. No. 4826 of 2009 [2] in a suit for declaration. However, in the interest of justice it is ordered that the petitioner will be given one opportunity to complete the cross- examination of Paramjit Kaur. The impugned order dated July 25, 2009, closing the evidence of the petitioner is hereby set aside and a direction is issued that on September 18, 2009, the petitioner will cross-examine the respondent subject to payment of Rs.3000/- as costs. It is made clear that in case for any reason Paramjit Kaur is not present in the Court on September 18, 2009, the trial Court will adjourn the case for appearance and cross- examination of Paramjit Kaur by giving a short date so that the cross- examination of Paramjit Kaur could be completed. It is made clear that in case the costs is not paid or the opportunity to cross-examine is not availed, this petition will be deemed to have been dismissed. Disposed of in limine.
