By this common order, I intend to decide both petitions together, as they challenge the orders passed by learned Civil / Family Judge-II, Gambat in Family Suit No.07 of 2023.
2. In C. P. No. S-22 of 2025, the petitioner (defendant) seeks to overturn the trial Court’s order dated 21.12.2024, which dismissed the petitioner’s request to frame additional issues. On the other hand, in C. P. No. S-23 of 2025, he challenges the order of even date that rejected his request to recall and re-examine the plaintiff (respondent No.1).
3. It appears that the trial Court, while deciding both the applications, observed that the material issues in the case have already been framed, including the crucial issue of whether the plaintiff is entitled to haq mahr. The plaintiff and one of her witnesses have already deposed, while other plaintiff’s witnesses are yet to be examined. The petitioner (defendant) sought to frame additional issues at an advanced stage of the trial and to recall the respondent (plaintiff) for re-examination after a lengthy cross- examination by his Counsel. The defendant’s evidence has not been recorded yet, giving him full opportunity to present his defense later.
