JUDGMENT 1. - Heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the impugned order. By the impugned order the learned trial Court has closed petitioner's evidence as the witnesses were not present on the date of hearing and that despite having been given opportunities in the past the petitioner failed to produce evidence. 2. From the perusal of the order - sheets produced on record it is clear that on 15. the case was fixed for the evidence of the petitioner on 18.12.199. Oil that clay again the case was adourned to 13.1.2000.1 low ever, in view of the strike of the Government employees the file was taken on 9.3.2000, on which date the evidence has been closed. Suffice it to say that on that day the petitioner could not be expected to present his witnesses. As such the impugned order cannot be sustained. 3. The fact still does remain that the suit is of the year 1994 and the petitioner's evidence commenced on 18.9.1999. In such circumstances, it is directed that the petitioner shall produce all his witnesses to whomsoever he wants to examine, before the learned trial Court on 6.7.2000, which is said to be the date already fixed by the learned trial Court. The learned trial Court on this date shall record the statements of the witnesses that may be produced by the petitioner. If for any reason of the Court, the statements of those witnesses are not recorded, the witnesses shall be bound down to appear on next earliest date convenient to the learned Court. At the same time it is made clear that if on 6.7.2000 defendant fails to produce the witnesses, lie will not be entitled for any further opportunity. Likewise, obviously the petitioner shall not be entitled to examine any other witness on any subsequent date unless that witness has been produced by him on 6.7.2000. The learned trial Court shall thereafter expeditiously dispose of the main suit. 4. The revision petition is accordingly allowed as above.Petition allowed. *******
