Issues in the case were framed on 7.5.2007 and the plaintiff after examining himself and tendering documents CR No. 6514 of 2011 2 closed his evidence on 2.11.2010. Now the plaintiff wants to examine the aforesaid witnesses in rebuttal or in the alternative by way of additional evidence. The plaintiff knew well from the very beginning that he had to prove the execution of the agreement and he led evidence of his choice and took at least five years to close the evidence. Sufficient opportunities appear to have been given to the plaintiff to conclude evidence. Plaintiff well knew about the evidence which he was to examine from the very beginning. Now the plaintiff cannot be permitted to lead further evidence to prove the issues. Application appears to have been filed just to prolong the proceedings of the suit. No grounds to interfere.
