JUDGEMENT
MEHINDER SINGH SULLAR , J. -
(1.) THE contour of the facts and material, which needs a necessary mention for the limited purpose of deciding the core controversy, involved in the
instant petition and emanating from the record is that, initially
petitioner -Chaterbhuj son of Surjeet Sigh and other proforma respondent
Nos.2 to 4 -plaintiffs(for brevity ''the plaintiffs '') have instituted the
civil suit for a decree of permanent injunction, restraining respondent
No.1 -defendant -Smt.Shyambati wife of Bhagirath(for short ''the contesting
defendant '') from interfering in their peaceful possession over the
property in dispute. The defendant contested the claim of the plaintiffs,
stoutly denied all the allegations contained in the plaint and prayed for
dismissal of the suit.
(2.) HAVING completed the evidence of the plaintiffs, ultimately, the case was adjourned for evidence of the defendant. The trial Court did not
adjourn the case, to enable the plaintiffs, to cross -examine the
defendant's witnesses and termed the cross -examination as 'Nil' vide
impugned order dated 12.12.2013(Annexure P -1).
Aggrieved thereby, the petitioner -plaintiff has preferred the present petition, invoking the superintendence jurisdiction of this Court under
Article 227 of the Constitution of India.
(3.) AT the very outset, in exercise of power conferred under Article 227 of the Constitution of India, I hereby exempt the issuance of notice to
the respondent No.1 -defendant, in order to save her from the expenditure
of counsel fees, litigation expenses in this Court and the delay in
disposal of the suit, particularly when she can well be compensated with
adequate costs in this context. Be that as it may, however, in case,
respondent No.1 -defendant is aggrieved by the order, in any manner, she
would be at liberty to file a petition to recall this order without
accepting the costs.;
