Judgment text as reported

TANVEER AHMED VS IMTIAZ ANWAR art. 17(2)(a)---Civil Procedure Code (V of 1908), O. XXXVII, Rr. 1 & 2---Suit for recovery on the basis of a promissory note---Non-appearance of second attesting witness---Inconsequential---Evidence produced deficient---Defendant filed appeal as the Trial Court decreed the suit---Validity---Only one witness out of the attesting witnesses of the pronote was produced, who admitted, during cross-examination, that appellant/defendant did not sign the pronote in his presence; that loan was not paid in his presence, and that the other witness of promissory note did not come to house of plaintiff/ respondent in his presence at the time when the promissory note was being written---Thus said attesting witness had not supported the stance of respondent/ plaintiff and his depositions were in contradiction to the statement of respondent/plaintiff---The other attesting witness had died so could not be produced in evidence, however, his son, as a witness of the plaintiff/ respondent, identified the signatures of his father on exhibited pronote---Thus, evidence produced by respondent/plaintiff was not sufficient to hold that the disputed amount had been paid and pronote and receipt had been duly executed---Trial Court while passing the impugned decision had misinterpreted the evidence brought on record and erred in law, hence the same were unsustainable in the eye of law---High Court set-aside the impugned judgment and decree, consequently, respondent's suit was dismissed---appeal, filed by defendant, was allowed, in circumstances.
