CW-13549/10 (1) In the High Court of Judicature for Rajasthan Jaipur Bench, Jaipur O R D E R S.B. Civil Writ Petition No.13549/2010 M/s. Kishan T. Asrani & Anr. Vs. Sidhraj Taksali & Anr. Date of Order :: 19/10/2010 Hon'ble Mr. Justice Ajay Rastogi Mr. R.K. Agrawal, for petitioner. Mr. N.K. Maloo, for respondent. Instant petition has been filed by the petitioner-defendant assailing the order dt.01.10.2010 passed by Rent Tribunal, Jaipur City, Jaipur whereby request for cross- examination of plaintiff's witness PW1 has been declined and for recording statement of other witnesses matter has been posted for 10.12.2010. Counsel for the petitioner submits that their request for granting time for cross-examination of PW1 was declined only on the premise that suit is pending since 2003 and the petitioner defendant intends to delay the proceedings, which according to him is not justified and the delay cannot be attributed to the petitioner since it was the respondent plaintiff who filed the application at belated stage and this fact has not been considered by the learned Tribunal while rejecting their CW-13549/10 (2) request for cross-examination of plaintiff's witness under order impugned dt.01.10.2010. Mr. N.K. Maloo, on instructions, submits that petitioner may be granted opportunity of cross-examination of plaintiff's witness PW1 on the next date of hearing but the Tribunal may be directed to proceed further expeditiously in accordance with law. In view of the statement made by Mr. Maloo who is appearing for the contesting respondent, the order impugned dt.01.10.2010 is hereby set aside only to the extent denying cross-examination of plaintiff's witness PW1 and the petitioner will be at liberty to cross-examine plaintiff's witness PW1 on the next date of hearing, failing which petitioner-defendant will not get any further opportunity for cross-examination thereafter and it is expected from the learned Tribunal to proceed further and decide the suit expeditiously in accordance with law. With these directions/observations, the writ petition stands disposed of. (Ajay Rastogi),J. VS Shekhawat/p.2/ 13549cw10Oct19FnlDsps.doc
