IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CR No.2076 of 2011 (O&M) Date of decision:25.03.2011. Rajinder Kumar ...Petitioner Versus Dr. Kulwant Singh ...Respondent CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE RAKESH KUMAR JAIN Present: Mr. Surinder Sharma, Advocate, for the petitioner. ***** RAKESH KUMAR JAIN, J. (ORAL) This revision petition is directed against order dated 17.03.2011 passed by the learned Rent Controller, Jalandhar by which evidence of the petitioner/tenant has been ordered to be closed. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the eviction petition was filed on 16.05.2007 in which issues were framed on 31.01.2008 and evidence of the landlord was closed on 17.02.2011. Thereafter, the case was adjourned by the learned Rent Controller for 21.02.2011, 26.02.2011, 08.03.2011 and on 17.03.2011 evidence of the petitioner/tenant has been ordered to be closed. Learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that there is an unwarranted haste on the part of the learned Rent Controller to have given short adjournments to the petitioner/tenant and despite the fact that one RW was examined in chief and his cross-examination was deferred on the request of the landlord, his evidence has been closed. I am convinced with the argument raised by learned counsel for the petitioner/tenant and have found the impugned order to be illegal. In view of the above, the present revision petition is hereby allowed and the impugned order is hereby set aside. March 25, 2011 (RAKESH KUMAR JAIN) vinod* JUDGE
