M/S.Foodworld Super Markets Ltd. & Anr vs H.Sujan Singh & Ors

The Supreme Court allowed the appeal under Article 227 of the Constitution of India, setting aside the High Court's dismissal of the writ petition that sought to recall the plaintiff's witness for cross-examination. The Court found that the defendants' explanation for their absence during the trial was satisfactory and bona fide, and that the denial of cross-examination resulted in grave prejudice to their defense. The trial court was directed to permit the cross-examination and expedite the disposal of the suit within six months.
