JUDGEMENT
-
(1.) THIS writ petition is directed against the order dtd.27.8.2010 passed by the learned Additional Dist. Judge (Fast
Track) No.2, Udaipur in Civil Original Suit No.90/2007 Daulat
Singh V/s Shanti Lal, whereby the defendant's application to recall
the witness D.W.1 Arun Kumar filed under Order 18 Rule 17 C.P.C.
has been rejected by the learned trial Court.
(2.) THE learned counsel for the petitioner, Mr. Deelip Kawadia, submitted that since the original documents were filed at
the time of filing temporary injunction application and the same were
admittedly lying in the misc. application case for temporary injunction,
the learned trial Court has errred in rejecting the application of the
petitioner defendant and ignoring those documents, even though
the documents can be presumed to be within the knowledge of the
defendant and even though the learned trial Court has so observed in
the impugned order, it has failed to exercise its jurisdiction to allow
the defendant to re-examine the defendant Arun kumar himself with
respect to those documents merely on the ground that the defendant
ought to have produced those documents in the original plaint itself.
None appears on behalf of the respondents to oppose these submissions, even though the name of Mr. B.S. Charan is
shown in the cause list.
(3.) HAVING heard the learned counsel for the petitioner, Mr. Deelip Kawadia, this Court is of the opinion that in these
circumstances, there would be serious miscarriage of justice, if the
trial Court cannot take note of documents already filed even though in
the misc. application of temporary injunction attached with main suit
itself and the defendant ought to have been allowed to re-examine
D.W.1 Arun Kumar himself about the original documents which were
already produced before the Court and the same could be exhibited
in the main suit also retaining the copies thereof in the temporary
injunction application case file.;
