PETITIONERS: 1. ELSIE, W/O.VARGHESE THYKKADAN HOUSE, VILVATTAM, THRISSUR. 2. JOSEPH, S/O.THYKKADAN THOMAS, DO.DO. 3. SEENA, W/O.THYKKADAN JOSEPH, DO.DO. BY ADV. SRI.SAJU.S.A RESPONDENT: WE ONE KURIES AND LOANS(P) LTD., SHORNUR ROAD, THRISSUR, REP. BY ITS CHAIRMAN. THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 06/01/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: K.P. Balachandran, J. -------------------------- W.P.(C)No.511 of 2009 J -------------------------- JUDGMENT Petitioners are the defendants in O.S.No.836/06 on the file of the Munsiff's Court, Thrissur and the respondent is the plaintiff therein. The suit is one for realisation of the amount due under a kuri security bond. The case stood posted for trial on 3.1.2009. The grievance of the petitioner is that various documents were produced by the respondent/plaintiff on 2.1.2009 and the court below has accepted those documents in evidence, but, when the counsel for the petitioners/ defendants asked for a short adjournment to go through those documents for examining PW1, the court below disallowed the request and therefore, the counsel started cross-examining PW1 and then he was not allowed to put relevant questions. According to him, the case now stands adjourned to 5.1.2009, as the petitioners/defendants filed a petition before the trial court stating that they WPC 511/09 2 believe that they will not get justice from the court and they intend to move a petition for transfer. I do not find much merit in the submissions so made. All the same, the court below should have granted breathing time to the counsel for the petitioners/defendants to look up the documents produced by the respondent/plaintiff, if those were produced only on 2.1.2009. In the result, without notice to the respondent/plaintiff, I dispose of this writ petition directing the court below to grant three days time from today to the petitioners/defendants to verify the documents produced by the respondent/ plaintiff and to cross-examine PW1. Petitioners are directed to produce a copy of this judgment in the court below forthwith. Issue copy of this judgment to the counsel for the petitioners urgently. 6th January, 2009 (K.P.Balachandran, Judge) tkv
