REVISION PETITION UNDER SECTION 115 OF THE CIVIL PROCEDURE CODE, 1908
CHALLENGING THE ORDER PASSED ON _____IN THE CASE NO._____.
1. That, the instant Revision Petition is filed by the Appellant under Section 115 of the Code of Civil
Procedure (CPC), 1908 being aggrieved by the Order dated _______ passed by the Ld. Civil Judge,
______________, New Delhi in Civil Suit No. ________of 2019 seeking to set aside the same. The
certified copy of the impugned order is annexed hereto and marked as Annexure A1.
2. The Appellant seeks the intervention of the Hon’ble Court as the subordinate court had refused to
summon two important witnesses who were determinant to the case. Without the court intervention,
and thereby issuing an Order of Summons, there is no way that they would appear and answer on
Oath. The non-appearance of the witness would lead to grave injury caused to the Appellant. Thus,
this petition to direct the Subordinate Court to issue summons to the witness and thereby exercise the
jurisdiction the court has.
3. The money suit was filed by the Appellant on __________based on the contract entered into by
the Plaintiff and the Defendant for jointly bidding a tender floated by the Public Sector Unit (PSU). It
was agreed that the sale proceeds would be distributed equally to the bidders.
4. The parties secured the tender in their favour for Rs.5,00,000 and the amount was credited to the
Defendants account. But, the value of the tender would least amount to Rs. 10,00,000.
5. The Defendant after receiving the sale proceeds informed the Plaintiff that he had accepted the
tender for Rs. 5,00,000. When the Plaintiff enquired the Defendant as to why such low amounts
were secured, the Defendant gave evasive response and never explained why such less amount was
received, when clearly the value of movies is much higher. As per the terms and conditions of the
contract half of the financial proceeds belong to the Plaintiff.
6. That the trial court framed issues on 19/01/2019 and directed the Appellant to produce evidence,
upon which the Appellant promptly furnished to the court below four witnesses making a request that
the witness should be summoned by that Court.
7. The Plaintiff listed 4 witnesses out of which there are 2 witnesses from the PSU.
8. The Judge refused to entertain such a request and directed the Plaintiff to secure the attendance of
the 2 PSU witnesses on his own.
9. The Judge, after cross-examining the two other witnesses had passed an order to close the witness
of the Plaintiff (order dated 15/07/2019).
10. Two witness of the Appellant had appeared and their statements were recorded. However, the
learned Presiding Officer of the court below passed an order that the remaining witnesses be
produced by the Appellant -plaintiff on his own without seeking the assistance of the court. This
order was passed despite a request by the Appellant that at least those witnesses named in the list
who are State employees should be summoned by the court, as they are required to produce and
prove some official records.
GROUNDS:
i. That on the date of hearing the learned trial court by the order impugned in this revision
closed the evidence of the Appellant -plaintiff on the ground that the remaining witnesses
were not produced by him.
ii. That the impugned order has caused great prejudice to the Appellant and if the same is
allowed to stand the Appellant’s suit is bound to fail.
iii. The Judge has failed to exercise the powers granted to him under Order XVI, Rule I of the
Civil Procedure Code, 1908.
iv. That the trial court has unjustifiably denied assistance of the court to the Appellant -plaintiff
to secure the attendance of his witnesses. The interests of justice demand that he is
provided with all legal assistance in this regard.
v. The purpose of summoning the two PSU witnesses has a great impact on the case. Only on
them giving testimony can the rights of the parties be decided and the justice can be
upheld and the real rights of the parties be decided.
vi. That it is violative of the principles of natural justice and fair trial.
11. The Plaintiff submits that all court fees have been paid.
12. The Plaintiff submits that there is no appeal in the High Court or any other Court subordinate to
it.
PRAYER
In the facts and circumstances discussed above the Appellant prays that this Hon’ble Court be
pleased to
And pass any such other orders as the court may deem fit and proper in the light of the given
circumstances and thus render justice.
