The said petition was still pending and the grievance petition had not yet been restored when the learned lower Court directed the petitioner to produce the record. Needless to say that the record required by the respondent was to be produced in support of his grievance petition and before the grievance petition had been restored, there was absolutely no necessity of calling the record. So, if record had not been produced, there was no justification to impose costs. The learned lower Court missed to consider this aspect of the case and thus wrongly imposed costs. Even otherwise costs of Rs,1,000 are excessive. Costs always should be reasonable.
