For Petitioner(s): Mr.K.J.Parthasarathy
For Respondent(s):
COMMON ORDER
These Civil Revision Petitions have been filed to set aside the order s and
decreetal order dated 10.02.2026 in I.A.Nos.5 and 6 of 2025 in O.S.No.6675 of
2024 on the file of the III Additional City Civil Court, Chennai.
2. The learned counsel for the petitioner would submit that the Trial Court
has not given sufficient opportunity to cross examine P.W1 and despite see king
time, without granting time on 05.11.2025, closed the cross examination of
P.W.1 and posted the suit for defendant evidence. Despite the aforesaid
applications were filed immediately without any delay, to reope n plaintiff side
evidence and recall P.W.1, the Trial Court dismissed the same which is contrary
to the mandate under Order 18 Rule 17 CPC which enables the Court to recall
witness at any stage of the suit and the decision of the Hon’ble Apex C ourt in
2011 (11) SCC 275.
3. On perusal of the records and submissions made by the learned counsel
for the petitioners, it reveals that without giving sufficient opportunit y to the
petitioners/defendants for further cross examination of P.W.1, the evidence of
P.W1 was closed on 05.11.2025. Now, the defendants have come forward to

Page6 of 8
cross examine P.W.1 to defend the case. However, the Trial Court dismissed the
same holding that despite sufficient opportunity was given, the petitione rs have
not utilized the same. However, the right of cross examination on t he side of
the defendants/petitioners cannot be rejected since it is vital factors to decide the
case on merits. Hence, this Court is inclined to grant one more o pportunity to
the petitioners to cross examine the P.W.1, thereby the orders dated 10.02.2026
made in I.A. Nos. 5 and 6 of 2025 passed by the Court below stand set aside.
4. It is made clear that the petitioner shall cross examine P.W.1 w ithin a
period of one week without asking unnecessary adjournments. Further, the Tr ial
Court is directed to dispose of the case as early as possible and both parties are
directed to cooperate with the Trial Court proceedings to comple te the same at
the earliest.
5. With the aforesaid directions, the Civil Revision Petitions are disposed
of. No costs. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petition is closed.
