IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Revision No.1051 of 2008 Date of decision: February 20, 2008. Ram Kumar ...Petitioner(s) v. Soran ...Respondent(s) CORAM:HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SURYA KANT 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. Present: Shri OPS Tanwar, Advocate for the petitioner. ORDER Surya Kant, J. - This Revision Petition is directed against the order dated 21.1.2008 passed by the learned Civil Judge (Junior Division), Jagadhari whereby an application moved by the respondent – defendant to frame an additional issue has been allowed and thereafter the suit has been adjourned to give last opportunity to the respondent - defendant to lead his evidence on the additionally framed issue. It is apparent from the impugned order and is not disputed by Learned Counsel for the Petitioner – plaintiff that in the written statement, the respondent – defendant has taken a specific objection that the suit land was ancestral joint Hindu family property along with other family members, however, at the time of framing of issues no specific issue to the said effect was framed. It is in this backdrop that the learned trial court has accepted his application and has framed an additional issue to the effect as to, “whether the suit land is ancestral property of the defendant along with his other family members?”. Since the onus to prove the aforesaid issue lies on the respondent – defendant, he has rightly been given an opportunity to adduce evidence on the issue. No case to interfere with the impugned order is, thus, made out. Dismissed. February 20, 2008. [ Surya Kant ] kadyan Judge
