It is the case of the petitioner that<\/p>\n<p>issues framed in the suit did not leave any scope for examining Handwriting<\/p>\n<p>Expert in rebuttal. It was claimed that the application moved for examining<\/p>\n<p>Handwriting Expert in rebuttal was not supplied nor reply was sought from<\/p>\n<p>the counsel for the petitioner and the same was allowed without giving<\/p>\n<p>opportunity of hearing. The petitioner came to know about the order dated<\/p>\n<p>8.9.2006 when the expert appeared. It was claimed that the plaintiffs had no<\/p>\n<p>right to examine Handwriting Expert in rebuttal as there was no such issue.<\/p>\n<p>            On notice reply was filed where a stand was taken that the<\/p>\n<p>counsel for the petitioner was present in court on 18.4.2006 when the<\/p>\n<p>application was moved      and copy thereof was supplied to him. The<\/p>\n<p>application was allowed after hearing him.\n<\/p>\n<p>            It was denied that the petitioner came to know about the order<\/p>\n<p>on 8.9.2006 as claimed. It was further the case of the respondent-plaintiffs<\/p>\n<p>that when Expert appeared the case was adjourned to 5.5.2006.On the said<\/p>\n<p>date, counsel for the defendant was present and PW 4 was examined and<\/p>\n<p>photographs were taken      by expert. Thus, the averments made in the<\/p>\n<p>application were denied.\n<\/p>\n<p>            The learned trial court observed that in the present suit for<\/p>\n<p>possession by way of specific performance. Issues were framed on 1.8.2003<\/p>\n<p>which read as under:-\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\"> CR No.1270 of 2007                                                3<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>            1.

Relief.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>            It was further observed by the learned trial court that the<\/p>\n<p>plaintiffs led evidence     and concluded the same and thereafter the<\/p>\n<p>defendant-petitioner led evidence and examined Handwriting Expert and<\/p>\n<p>closed his evidence. The court observed that objection of the defendant\/<\/p>\n<p>petitioner was that Handwriting Expert could not be examined in rebuttal as<\/p>\n<p>it was only possible to examine the said Expert in affirmative.<\/p>\n<p>            The court did not go into the merits of the claim but dismissed<\/p>\n<p>the application by placing reliance on the judgment of this court in the case<\/p>\n<p>of Kashmir Kaur Vs. Bachan Kaur &amp; Anr. 2000 (1) PLR 606.<\/p>\n<p>            Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner has<\/p>\n<p>challenged the impugned order by placing reliance on the judgment of this<\/p>\n<p>court in the case of Surjit Singh &amp; Ors. Vs. Jagtar Singh &amp; Ors AIR<\/p>\n<p>2007 Punjab &amp; Haryana 1 to contend that the judgment in the case of<\/p>\n<p>Kashmir Kaur Vs. Bachan Kaur (supra) on which reliance was placed<\/p>\n<p>by the learned trial court stood overruled by the Division Bench of this<\/p>\n<p>court. Thus, it was contended that the impugned order cannot be sustained.<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\"> CR No.1270 of 2007                                                4<\/span><\/p>\n<p>             Mr.Sudeep Mahajan, learned counsel appearing on behalf of<\/p>\n<p>the respondents controverted the allegations on the plea that the judgment of<\/p>\n<p>this court in the case of Kashmir Kaur Vs. Bachan Kaur &amp; Anr. (supra)<\/p>\n<p>was not overruled by this court in the case of       Surjit Singh &amp; Ors. Vs.<\/p>\n<p>Jagtar Singh &amp; Ors (supra).\n<\/p>\n<p>             However, this plea cannot be accepted as the Division Bench of<\/p>\n<p>this Court specifically held that they were unable to agree with the<\/p>\n<p>observations made by the learned Single Judge in the case of Kashmir<\/p>\n<p>Kaur Vs. Bachan Kaur &amp; Anr. (supra) that a party is entitled to lead<\/p>\n<p>evidence in rebuttal as a matter or right. It was specifically held that the said<\/p>\n<p>observations are contrary to the judgment of Division Bench of this case in<\/p>\n<p>the case of Smt.Jaswant Kaur and another Vs. Devinder Singh and<\/p>\n<p>others AIR 1983 Punjab and Haryana 210.\n<\/p>\n<p>             The impugned order has been passed merely by placing<\/p>\n<p>reliance on the observations made by this court in the case of Kashmir<\/p>\n<p>Kaur Vs. Bachan Kaur &amp; Anr. (supra). Thus, the contention of the<\/p>\n<p>learned counsel for the petitioner has force and deserves to be accepted.<\/p>\n<p>             Faced with this situation, learned counsel for the respondents<\/p>\n<p>contended that in fact the evidence in rebuttal was required to controvert the<\/p>\n<p>evidence led by the defendants on issue No.3. However, this contention<\/p>\n<p>also cannot be accepted. Evidence to prove the agreement was required to<\/p>\n<p>be led on issue No.1 and not on Issue No.3 and therefore, the evidence<\/p>\n<p>sought to be led by the respondent\/plaintiffs was in fact on issue No.1, the<\/p>\n<p>onus of which was on the plaintiff\/respondents and therefore, the<\/p>\n<p>respondent\/plaintiffs could not have been permitted to lead evidence by<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\"> CR No.1270 of 2007                                             5<\/span><\/p>\n<p>examining the Expert in rebuttal to prove the agreement of sale.<\/p>\n<p>             For the reasons stated above, the impugned order cannot be<\/p>\n<p>sustained.
