IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA C.R. No.30 of 2009 RAJAN SINGH @ RANJAN KUMAR SINGH & ORS Versus NEELA DEVI & ORS ----------- 2 15.1.2009 Heard counsel for the petitioners. In the opinion of this Court, the court below ought to have given one opportunity to the petitioner to be heard before confirming the report of the pleader commissioner. There is clinching evidence to show that the counsel for the petitioner was having no information with regard to the order fixing the matter for hearing on the point of confirmation of the report of the pleader commissioner. In that view of the matter, the court below is directed to re-consider the prayer of the petitioner for being allowed to be heard in the matter of confirming the report of the pleader commissioner. It is however, made clear that the petitioner will be given only an opportunity of oral hearing but will not be allowed to file any objection in writing against the report of the pleader commissioner since he had not done so from 23.7.2007 onwards while the report of Pleader Commissioner remained on the record of the suit. With the aforementioned observations and direction, this application is disposed of. Rsh (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
