ORDER

1. KARAM ELAHEE CHAUHAN,J.-Leave is granted to consider whether the refusal of the learned Civil Judge to examine the witnesses whom the petitioners had brought with them in Court on the relevant date, was legally justified on the ground that the petitioner had not filed a list of witnesses after settlement of issues under Order XVI(1), C. P. C. It is argued that the bar contained in Order XVI(1) and (2) is regarding witnesses who were intended to be called through Court and not regarding those witnesses who were brought by a party with him on the date fixed for recording his evidence. He refers to A Ghulam Murtaza v. Muhammad Ilyas and others (PLD 1980 Lah. 495). For the purpose of showing that the impugned order even otherwise was not justified reference is made in Chhabba Ram v. Nathu Ram (AIR 1941 Lah. 38). Security Rs. 2,000. The case should be fixed for hearing at an early date.
