NISAR AHMAD ITOO MR. MUBASHIR MALIK, ADNAN FAYAZ vs ABDUL RASHID BHAT — CM(M)/145/2026

Case Summary: CM(M) 145/2026 The High Court of Jammu & Kashmir dismissed the petitioner's plea to summon a witness after evidence closure in a ₹4,50,000 recovery suit. The court held that the trial court correctly rejected the Section 151 CPC application, as the petitioner had adequate prior opportunities to produce the witness, evidence had already closed, and permitting late witness summoning would reopen proceedings and prejudice the opposing party. The court emphasized that procedural discipline under CPC cannot be circumvented by invoking inherent powers at belated stages.
