This Civil Revision Petition has been filed challenging the impugned order, dated 23.02.2026 passed in I.A.No.11 of 2026 in O.S.No.1710 of 2023 on the file of IV Assistant City Civil Court, Chennai.

2. Under the aforesaid order, the trial court has rejected the petitioner’s application seeking to recall the plaintiffs’ witness.

The petitioner contends that since he was not having the copy of the pendrive, which was marked as an exhibit on the side of the plaintiffs, he was not able to complete the cross-examination of the plaintiffs’ witness.

3. After hearing the arguments of both the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and the respondents/caveators, this Court suggested that the petitioner may be permitted to cross-examine the plaintiffs’ witness and a direction can be issued
