District Judge No.2, Kota in Civil Suit No. 14/2000 by which the
application filed by the petitioner/plaintiff under Order 16 Rule 1(2) and
Rule 2(2) of CPC for recalling the witness has been dismissed.
The submission of the petitioner's counsel is that he has filed a
suit for specific performance in the year 2000 wherein some agreement

was disputed as evidence of which he has filed a request to seek
opinion of hand writing expert as well as opinion from FSL. As per him
the said application is pending. In support of his claim he has filed one
expert opinion of private hand writing expert and his application was
allowed but that hand writing expert, on his request, has not turned out
in the Court. He requested by way of impugned application before the
Court that he may be called as witness.
Per contra, the counsel for the respondent submits that on
07.02.2017, the evidence was closed. It was only on 06.09.2017 that
the application was filed which has been dismissed vide order impugned
by the learned Trial Court holding as under:-

The respondent counsel submitted that learned Trial Court has
given enough justified reason for rejection of the application.
This Court has gone through the records of the writ petition,
arguments submitted by the respective counsels, one judgment cited at
bar by the petitioners i.e. Padum Kumar Vs State of Uttar Pradesh
reported in AIR 2020 SC 447.
On perusal and consideration of the same, this Court is of the
view that Article 227 has a limited jurisdiction only in the matters where
there is an error apparent on the face of records that the court should
intervene though in the case in hand the learned Trial Court below has
given enough justified reasons.
However, yet to meet the ends of justice it is ordered that the
witness requested by the petitioner's counsel be allowed to be
examined by the learned trial Court at his expenses at the cost of Rs.
3000/- to be given to the respondent within one month.
Accordingly, this court is disposing present writ petition with the
direction to the learned Trial court to call for the witness in question for
evidence as prayed in the application at the expenses of the petitioners
to be deposited on the specified date given by the Trial court and before
the said exercise is carried out, a cost of Rs. 3000/- be paid to the
(4 of 4) [CW-2556/2019]
respondent counsel and Rs. 2000/- to be deposited with the
Court/District Legal Services Authority.
In the light of the above, with consent of both the sides, the writ
petition is disposed of.
All pending application also stands disposed of.
