The answer to the reference has been received from the Hon’ble Division Bench of this Court and the Hon’ble Division Bench held that the Court has power to recall any witness or witnesses already examined, even if the evidence on both side is closed. Therefore, the
submissions made on behalf of the petitioner that Court was not competent to review its own order does not survive in view of the
judgment of Hon’ble Division Bench, hence the present petition stands dismissed.
Pending application(s), if any, also stands disposed of.
