ORDER PASSED BELOW DRAFT NOTICE OF MOTION
Perused draft notice of motion, affidavit in support of it and reply of plaintiff. Heard respective counsel for parties.
Draft notice of motion is taken out by defendants to set aside order dated 20.08.2019 whereby side of defendants was closed.
It is the contention of defendants that on 20.08.2019 when suit was kept for cross examination of DW-1 Sudhakar, he could not remain present before this Court due to family function in their house on attaining age of 100 years by father of DW-1. His advocate also could not appear on the said date as he was suffering from high infection and intimated said fact to the advocate for plaintiff. In above circumstances defendants prayed for recall of said order by setting aside the same.
Plaintiff opposed notice of motion on the count that it is not supported with documents.
On perusal of roznama dated 20.08.2019 it is apparent that advocate for plaintiff has submitted that advocate for defendants informed that he is in difficulty so unable to come to the Court. Therefore, possibility cannot be ruled out that because of high infection counsel for defendants could not come to the court and intimate about unavailability of DW-1 Sudharkar Sharma. Reasons assigned by defendants in my view are sufficient to set aside order dated 20.08.2019. Therefore, in the interest of justice and fair trial I am inclined to allow present notice of motion by condoning delay if any caused for taking out said notice of motion. Hence, pass following order
ORDER
1. Draft notice of motion is allowed and made absolute in terms of prayer clause (a).
2. DW-1 Sudhakar Sharma is hereby directed to remain present on next date in the Court and make himself available for cross examination without fail.
3. Draft notice of motion be registered for statistical purpose.
4. Accordingly, draft notice of motion is disposed off.
Adjourned for cross examination 13.12.2019.
