Har Khas, And Aam ----Respondents For Petitioner(s) : Mr. Lalitendra Kumar Bhardwaj (Present in person) For Respondent(s) : Mr. Nishant Vyas, Adv. HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE NARENDRA SINGH DHADDHA Order 08/07/2025 This civil revision petition has been filed by the petitioner against the order dated 18.10.2024 passed by District Judge, Jaipur Metropolitan-II, Jaipur in civil case No.88/2022, whereby the said Court dismissed the petitioner’s application under Order 18 Rule 17 read with Section 151 CPC. Petitioner submits that respondent Nos.2 and 3 filed an application under Section 372 of Indian Succession Act, 1925 against the petitioner as well as respondent No.1 and respondent Nos.4 to 11 in which statement of the respondent No.1-Kuldeep Bharadwaj was recorded by the trial court. At that time the petitioner requested before the trial court for cross-examination of the respondent No.1 but trial court had not granted permission for cross-examination of the respondent No.1. The petitioner further submits that petitioner filed an application under Order 18 Rule 17 read with Section 151 CPC before the trial court for giving an opportunity to cross-examine the respondent No.1 but trial court vide its order dated 18.10.2024 dismissed the application filed by the petitioner. [2025:RJ-JP:25081] (3 of 3) [CR-18/2025] The petitioner also submits that he had right to cross- examine the respondent No.1 but trial court wrongly dismissed the application. Without cross-examining the respondent No.1, the petitioner would not be able to put his case before the trial court properly. So, order dated 18.10.2024 passed by the trial court be set aside and trial court be directed to grant an opportunity to him for cross-examining the DW-2 Kuldeep Bharadwaj. Learned counsel for the respondent has opposed the arguments advanced by the petitioner and submitted that trial court has rightly dismissed the application filed by the petitioner. So, the present civil revision petition filed by the petitioner being devoid of merit, is liable to be dismissed. I have considered the arguments advanced by the petitioner as well as learned counsel for the respondent. It is an admitted position that petitioner had right to cross- examine the witnesses and the trial court dismissed the application filed by the petitioner. However, in the interest of justice, I deem it just and proper to grant an opportunity to the petitioner to cross-examine the DW2-Kuldeep Bharadwaj. So, order dated 18.10.2024 passed by the trial court is deserves to be set aside. Accordingly, the petition filed by the petitioner is allowed. The order dated 18.10.2024 passed by the trial Court is set aside and the trial Court is directed to grant only an opportunity to the petitioner for cross-examination of DW2-Kuldeep Bharadwaj. Pending application(s), if any, pending, stands disposed of. (NARENDRA SINGH DHADDHA),J AVINASH GULERIA /54
