IN THE HIGH COURT OF BOMBAY AT GOA WRIT PETITION NO. 716 OF 2008 SHRI PANDHARINATH D. CHODANKAR ... Petitioner Versus SHRI WAUSVEL S. MIRANDA AND ANR., ... Respondents Ms. U.Naik, Advocate for the Petitioner. Coram:- A. P. LAVANDE, J. Date:- 11th December, 2008 P.C.: Heard Ms.U.Naik, learned counsel for the Petition. The petitioner challenges the Order dated 17.7.2008,passed by IIIrd Addl.Civil Judge Senior Division, Salcelte, in Regular Civil Suit No.183/1996/III,by which application filed by the petitioner, who is the defendant in the civil suit to cross examine the plaintiff, has been dismissed. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner and having perused the record, I find that petitioner has not made out case for interference by this Court. The record discloses that neither the defendant nor his counsel remained present to cross examine the plaintiff and as such the Trial Court had no option to close the cross examination of the plaintiff. Even thereafter on two occasion, none appeared on behalf of the defendant. The conduct of the petitioner clearly disentitles him from invoking extraordinary writ jurisdiction under Article 227 of the Constitution of India. I find that petitioner has not made out any case for interference by this court.Hence the petition is rejected. A. P. LAVANDE, J. ah
