GOVIND NARAIN Vs. CHHOTI DEVI

JUDGEMENT

(1.) THESE two revision applications can conveniently be disposed of by one judgment as the same question of law arises in them. That question in whether a recognised agent of a party can cross-examine a witness of the opposite party.

(2.) IN both the cases a hand-writing expert was examined on behalf of one party and the permission of the court was sought for his cross-examination by another hand-writing expert on behalf of the other party holding a power of attorney. The permission was refused by the Senior Civil Judge, Jaipur City, in one case (Civil Revision No. 521/1964), but was granted by the District Judge, Jaipur City, in. the other case (Civil Revision No. 18 of 1965 ).
