¶20

Revision Petitions have been filed.

¶21

4.The learned Counsel appearing for the petitioner/plaintiff contended that a fraud has been played on the Court, as the respondent/defendant was actually not available in India and he was in United States of America and he had raised an objection by having a document to prove that the defendant was in United States of America.

¶22

5.Per contra, the learned Counsel for the respondent contended that the respondent is very much available in India and because of the pendency of the above Civil Revision Petitions, the trial has come to stand still.

¶23

6.When a respondent/defendant pleads that he is very much available in India for cross examination, there cannot be any impediment for the plaintiff to suspect or question the credibility of the defendant. Hence, both the Civil Revision Petitions are dismissed. As the suits are of the year 2010, the trial Court
