Civil Revision No. 6204 of 2007(O&M) 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Revision No. 6204 of 2007(O&M) Date of Decision: August 17, 2009 Gurmeet Singh ...... Petitioner Versus Sewa Singh and others ...... Respondents Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Ajay Tewari Present: Mr. Parminder Singh, Advocate for Mr.Arun Palli, Senior Advocate for the petitioner. Mr.R.K.Shukla, Advocate for respondent No.1. **** 1. Whether Reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? Ajay Tewari, J. This revision has been filed against the order dated 15.11.2007 whereby the learned trial Court allowed the application moved by the respondent-plaintiff under Section 151 of the C.P.C. and permitted him to exhibit the sale deeds in dispute which had earlier been marked inadvertently. Learned counsel for the petitioner has vehemently argued that the plaintiff has been grossly negligent in the conduct of this 10 year old litigation and, therefore, the trial court should not have allowed his plea. It is, however, not disputed that the documents in question are the admitted Civil Revision No. 6204 of 2007(O&M) 2 sale deeds which have been challenged by the appellant. That is the only dispute between the parties. If these documents were not allowed to be exhibited it would result in dismissal of the suit without there being adjudication regarding the validity of the said sale deeds. In my opinion the discretion exercised by the Court cannot be said to be suffering from the vice of such material irregularity so as to justify interference by this Court in exercise of its powers under Section 227 of the Constitution of India. However, it cannot be gainsaid that the respondent-plaintiff has been inadvertent. Consequently this revision petition is dismissed. However, the order of the learned trial Court is modified to the extent that instead of the costs of Rs. 1000/- the respondents would be saddled with costs of Rs. 10,000/-. Since the main case has been decided, all the pending Civil Misc. Applications stand disposed of. (AJAY TEWARI) JUDGE August 17, 2009 sunita
