=========================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE V. NATH ORAL JUDGMENT Date: 09-05-2016 V.Nath, J.

Heard Mr. Mishra, learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner.

The legal sustainability of the impugned order by which the evidence of the defendant-petitioner has been closed, has been questioned in this application under Article 227 of the

Patna High Court CWJC No.9296 of 2014 dt.09-05-2016 Constitution of India.

The materials on record and the submission on behalf of the petitioner demonstrate that the suit was filed in the year 2006 and thereafter a pleader commissioner was appointed for recording the deposition of the present petitioner. As there was a dispute with regard to place of examination of the witness the pleader commissioner has submitted his report on 11.01.2012 pointing out the aforesaid fact. It does not appear from the present application or during the course of submission that any step thereafter was taken by the petitioner in the suit either by praying for appointment of pleader commissioner or for adducing evidence. When the evidence of the petitioner was closed on 06.08.2013 only thereafter the petitioner filed the petition on 09.09.

2013 for recall of the said order and grant of opportunity to the defendant for leading the evidence. The learned court below in the impugned order has recorded that sufficient opportunity has already been given to the petitioner to adduce evidence and therefore the prayer for recall of the order closing the evidence has been declined. This Court does not find any illegality or material irregularity in the impugned order requiring interference in exercise of jurisdiction under Article 227 of the Constitution of India. In result, this application is dismissed.

The petitioner shall however be at liberty to

Patna High Court CWJC No.9296 of 2014 dt.09-05-2016 question the validity of the impugned order as provided in Section 105(1) C.P.C. if the suit is ultimately decided against him. (V. Nath, J) Nitesh/- AFR/NAFR NAFR CAV DATE NA Uploading Date 23.05.2016 Transmission Date NA
