ORAL JUDGMENT

Date : 15-01-2024 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners on the point of admission and I intend to dispose of the petition at the stage of admission itself.

2. The instant petition has been filed by the petitioners against the order dated 18.05.2017, passed by learned Sub- Judge, Sub-divisional Civil Court, Sonpur (Saran) in Title Suit No. 472 of 2005, seeking directions for setting aside the said order.

3. The facts of the case, as it appears from the record are that the petitioners have filed the Title Suit No. 472 of 2005 against the defendant/respondent, namely, Rina Devi for declaration of title over suit property and also for restraining the defendant/respondent from selling the ancestral property of the petitioners. In the course of hearing, while evidence of DW7, namely Arun Kumar Singh, was being recorded, the said witness made certain statement in his examination-in-chief which was stated to be completely irrelevant to the facts in the suit and at the same time it was scandalous and affected the dignity and chastity of petitioner no.1, a widow lady. The petitioners made an application before the learned Sub-Judge, Sub-divisional Civil Court, Sonpur (Saran)
