Muhammed Shakir T vs Mashhood K and others Advocate - Sanoop E — 215/2023

Case Summary: OS.215/2023 Outcome: Application dismissed with no order as to costs. In this property partition suit, Defendant No.3 (Shuhaibath T.) filed an application to recall the plaintiff's testimony (PW1) for additional cross-examination, claiming her previous counsel had inadequately examined the witness due to poor communication. The court rejected this request, holding that a party's change of counsel is not valid grounds to reopen evidence. The court noted the application was filed two months after the original examination and would only delay proceedings, potentially prejudicing the plaintiff.
