He further submits that he does not controvert the legal position that the Courts can always appoint an LC for the purpose of recording of evidence. He, however, submits that before the said Order was passed, he should have been permitted with an opportunity to put across to the Court that in the present case an LC need not be appointed for the purpose of recording of the evidence. 5. This Court is of the view that since the Courts are empowered to have evidence recorded by a learned LC and since there is no grievance with respect to the concerned LC who is currently entrusted with the responsibility of recording of the evidence. There is no requirement to interfere with the order impugned herein. 6. Accordingly, the present Petition along with pending Application(s) is dismissed in the aforesaid terms.
