IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Revision No.3881 of 2009 (O&M) Date of decision: 19.02.2010 Gurdial Singh and another ....Petitioners versus S. Avtar Singh and others ....Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE K. KANNAN ------ Present: Ms. Sushma Chopra, Advocate, for the petitioners. Mr. Harit Sharma, Advocate, for respondent No.3. ----- 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? K.Kannan, J (Oral) 1. The revision has been filed against an order rejecting the petition filed for payment of costs of Rs.2,500/- had been ordered to be paid before 15.05.2009, while entertaining the application for appointment of a Local Commissioner. The direction had been issued by this Court in a civil revision between the parties. It is stated by the petitioner that the amount could not be paid since the Presiding Officer had proceeded on leave. For non-payment of cost as directed by this Court, the application for appointment of a Local Commissioner fell to be rejected. The Civil Revision be again filed against the order dismissing the application for non-payment of cost within the time. 2. The counsel for the petitioner states that the petitioner is a landlord and there is no reason to delay his own proceedings for eviction Civil Revision No.3881 of 2009 (O&M) - 2 - against the tenant. The reason for non-deposit within the prescribed time was, according to the counsel, for bona fide reasons. The appropriate procedure must have been only to file an application before the very same Court seeking for extension or obtain permission from this Court in the previously instituted Civil Revision petition seeking for extension of time. I do not, however, want to place technical fetters to overwhelm the petitioner and I direct that the Civil Revision will be allowed subject to payment of Rs.5,000/- to the respondent or his counsel. The learned counsel for the petitioner states that the amount has been paid today and the amount is also received by the respondent's counsel. The Civil Revision is allowed.
