Satnam Transport Company And Anr. vs Prakash Mal Surana on 15 February, 1980
The matter can further be viewed in the light of the decision in the case of Bhonreylal v. Kunj Beharilal ''AIR 1969 Raj 299) (supra). According to that derision, court is possessed of the power of condonation of delay in the presentation of the list by showing sufficient cause. After condonation of delay in the presentation of the list, witnesses can be examined. The object of the rules seems to be speedy trial and prevention of cooking up of witnesses by giving their names in the list, but the emphasis seems to he on allowing evidence by showing sufficient cause for not filing the list or for omission of the names of witnesses in the list and not on depriving the court of its power to permit the party to examine witnesses when list is not filed.
