What is this about?
Procedural disposal granting a defendant one final opportunity to produce the defence witness for cross-examination after closure of defendant evidence following rejection of an adjournment petition (order dated 6th October, 2023); fixed date and hour for appearance (25th June, 2025, 12.00 noon); blanket restraint on further adjournments except in exceptional circumstances; costs left to the determination of the trial court. No statute or precedent is cited or discussed; useful as a trial-management / last-opportunity-type interim order.

One opportunity to the petitioner/defendant to produce the defence witness for cross-examination on 25th June, 2025 at 12.00 noon, with a bar on any further adjournment except in exceptional circumstances; petitioner's undertaking to pay the cost as fixed by the learned trial court recorded.
