JUSTICE BIPIN GUPTA Judgment / Order 23/02/2026 1. The present writ petition has been filed assailing the order dated 21.10.2026, passed by learned Additional District and Sessions Judge No.12, Jaipur Metropolitan, in Civil Suit [2026:RJ-JP:8280] (2 of 2) [CW-15947/2016] No.68/2012, whereby the right of the defendant to cross-examine the plaintiff witness was closed. 2. Heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the material available on record. 3. Upon perusal of the record, this Court finds that although ample opportunity was granted to the petitioner to cross-examine the plaintiff’s witness the right to cross-examination was closed and the matter was posted for further evidence of plaintiff. 4. Therefore, taking into consideration the totality of the facts, and the fact that the writ petition has been pending since 2016, in which a stay order has been in operation, which resulted into no progress in the suit after 21.10.2016, thus, this Court deems it appropriate to grant one more opportunity to the petitioner- defendant to cross-examine the plaintiff’s witness, whose examination-in-chief has already been completed, subject to payment of cost of Rs.10,000/- to plaintiff-respondent. 5. The plaintiff will also be entitled to lead any further evidence as such right already stood granted to him vide order dated 21.10.2016. 6. If any other evidence is led by the plaintiff, the defendant will also be entitled to cross-examine the same witness. 7. With the above observation the present writ petition stand disposed of. 8. All pending application(s), if any, stand disposed of. (BIPIN GUPTA),J JUBIN /26
