1 Amk IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO. 5227 OF 2007 Suresh Shivajirao Kale .. Petitioner Vs. Deputy Registrar Co-operative Societies City 1 & Ors. .. Respondents Mr. S. S. Kanetkar for the Petitioner. Mr. R. V. Govilkar for Respondent No.2. Mr. Sanjay Kshirsagar for Respondent No.3. CORAM : MRS. R. S. DALVI, J. DATE : 28th January, 2010. P.C. 1. Advocate for respondent No.3 states that the only issue in this petition is whether the petitioner or the other directors of the bank may continue the cross-examination of respondent No. 3. Respondent No.3 is already facing trial. He has been cross- examined by the bank. He has thereafter to be cross-examined by the petitioner who is the General Manager of the bank and other directors of the bank. He states that, it makes no difference who cross-examines him first. Since the petitioner does not desire to 2 cross-examine him before the other directors cross-examined him, he states that he may be cross-examined by the other directors first. The other directors, though served, have not either supported or opposed the petitioner. 2. Hence, the other directors who are respondent Nos.4 to 19 shall cross-examine respondent No.3. Thereafter the petitioner shall cross-examine respondent No.3. The trial shall proceed forthwith. 3. Writ petition stands disposed of accordingly. Rule is made absolute accordingly. (R. S. DALVI, J.)
