Nirmal Singh and others .....................Respondents Coram: Hon'ble Mr.Justice Jaswant Singh Present: Mr.Abhinav Oberoi,Advocate for the petitioners. Jaswant Singh.J.(Oral) CM 10075-CII of 2011 allowed. Zimni orders (P3 to P8) are taken on record. Defendants/petitioners have filed the instant revision petition under Article 227 of the Constitution for setting aside the order dated 10.3.2011 passed by Civil Judge (Junior Division) Rajpura, whereby their evidence was closed by Court order as well as order dated 21.3.2011, whereby their application for recalling the order dated 10.3.2011 was dismissed. Plaintiffs/respondents filed a suit for possession by way of specific performance of the contract of sale dated 21.7.2000 in respect of agricultural land measuring 4 kanals. The suit was instituted on 9.1.2001. Issues were framed on 10.6.2006 and thereafter plaintiffs/respondents commenced their evidence, which was closed on 22.2.2011. Thereafter, petitioners/defedants started leading their evidence. They were granted 5 opportunities i.e. on 25.2.2011, 28.2.2011, 3.3.2011, 5.3.2011, 8.3.2011 before their evidence was CR No.2366 of 2011 2 closed on 10.3.2011. It is submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioners that opportunities granted to them cannot be said to be sufficient as these were granted at very short intervals and as such it was not possible for the petitioners to produce their entire evidence. Notice of motion. At this stage Mr.Amandeep Agnihotri,Advocate has put in appearance on behalf of the respondents. After hearing both sides and perusing the zimni orders placed on record, I am of the opinion that the opportunities granted to the petitioners at such short intervals cannot be said to be sufficient opportunities so as to enable them to produce their evidence and hence the impugned orders dated 10.3.2011 and 21.3.2011 are liable to be set aside. I am further of the opinion that it would be expedient in the interest of justice to grant the petitioners one last opportunity to lead their entire evidence subject to payment of costs. Consequently, the present revision petition is allowed, impugned orders dated 10.3.2011 and 21.3.2011 are set aside and the petitioners are granted one last opportunity to lead their entire evidence. This shall, however, be subject to payment of costs of Rs.5000/- payable by way of bank draft in favour of respondents/plaintiffs. 19.04.2011 (Jaswant Singh) joshi Judge
