In this revision petition filed by the plaintiff-petitioner under Article 227 of the Constitution of India, challenge is to the order dated 31.5.2011 passed by the trial court whereby his evidence has been closed by order of the Court. Counsel for the petitioner submitted that the plaintiff- petitioner could not produce the evidence due to certain unavoidable circumstances and in the interest of justice, one opportunity may be granted to the petitioner to lead his entire evidence and the respondents can be compensated by way of costs. He further submits that the petitioner will conclude his entire evidence at his own risk and responsibility on the date to be fixed by the trial court. Learned State counsel on the other hand supported the order passed by the trial and prayed for dismissal of the revision petition. CR No. 4697 of 2011 -2- After hearing learned counsel for the parties and in the facts and circumstances of the present case, this Court is satisfied that in the interest of justice the petitioner deserves to be granted one opportunity to conclude his entire evidence. Accordingly, the revision petition is disposed of with a direction that the petitioner shall be granted one opportunity to lead his entire evidence on the date to be fixed by the trial court at his own risk and responsibility and subject to payment of Rs.5,000/- to the defendant-respondents as costs. It is, however, made clear that in case the petitioner fails to conclude his entire evidence on the date to be fixed by the trial court or to pay the costs, as stipulated above, this revision petition shall be deemed to have been dismissed.
