Roghunath Jaganath Sardesai and others. ... Respondents Mr. Iftikar Agha, Advocate for the Petitioners. CORAM: R. M. SAVANT, J. DATED: 26th November, 2009. ... 2 ... ORAL ORDER: The above petitions take exception to the orders dated 30.09.2009 and 16.11.2009 passed by the Civil Judge, Senior Division, Mapusa in Regular Civil Suit No.195/2001/C by which orders, the applications filed by the petitioners to summon the defendant no.6 as witness came to be rejected. In the first petition i.e. Writ Petition No.785/2009, the second order i.e. dated 16.11.2009 is under challenge. The said application of the petitioners have been rejected for the reasons mentioned in the said impugned orders. 2. The sum and substance of the reasons is that the petitioners were aware of the averments in the plaint as well as the written statement of the other defendants and inspite of the same, the petitioners had not mentioned the name of the defendant no.6, whom they now want to examine, in the list of witnesses submitted by them in terms of Order XVI Rule 1. The reason given by the petitioners as to why they wanted to examine the defendant no.6 also did not find favour with the Trial court. In so far as the order dated 16.11.2009 ... 3 ... is concerned the Trial Court has observed that in view of the rejection of the petitioners' earlier application under order XVI Rule 3 by order dated 30.09.2009 the application now purportedly filed under Order 18 Rule 2 could not be entertained. Having heard the learned counsel for the parties and considered the reasons cited by the Trial Court, in my view the impugned orders do not call for any interference by this Court in its writ jurisdiction. Writ Petitions are accordingly dismissed. R. M. SAVANT, J. lh/.
