(3.) There is a specific averment with regard to the writing dated 07.01.1987. The defendant in the written statement did not specifically deny of having not appended the signatures on the writing, rather vague denial and stated to be forged and fabricated was taken. It was only when the defendant denied the same in the evidence, the application aforementioned was moved but the same has erroneously been dismissed. Our Court, as per the amendment caused in Order XVIII Rule 2 CPC adopted the amendment caused by Madras High Court granting jurisdiction to the Court for the reasons to be recorded in writing to direct any party to examine any witnesses at any stage. No harm would be caused as per the aforementioned amended provisions of law.;
