IN THE HIGH COURT OF HIMACHAL PRADESH SHIMLA CMPMO No.423 of 2008. Date of decision: 23.10.2008. Sarvesh Mankotia …Petitioner Versus Veena Devi …Respondent Coram The Hon’ble Mr.Justice Dev Darshan Sud,J. Whether approved for reporting ?1 For the Petitioner: Mr.R.K. Sharma, Advocate. For the Respondent: Mr.Ajay Chandel, Advocate. Dev Darshan Sud,J. This is again one of those cases where the litigant approaching this Court has shown scant respect for compliance of the orders of the learned trial Court which had granted ample opportunity to the petitioner herein, who was defendant before the trial Court, to lead evidence. The petitioner seeks to challenge an order, passed on sound judicial discretion, on a number of grounds none of which are tenable in law. I was not inclined to entertain this petition or to grant any relief, but for the fact that the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner herein made a plaintive 1 Whether the reporters of Local Papers may be allowed to see the judgement? 2 plea claiming indulgence of this Court for grant of one last and final opportunity to the petitioner. This Court has often deprecated the practice of litigants disobeying the orders of the trial Court and showing scant respect to the process of law. However, without delving further into the merits of the case, one last and final opportunity is granted to the petitioner herein to lead his evidence before the learned trial Court. Learned trial Court shall fix a date for recording evidence on which date the petitioner shall produce his witnesses at his own responsibility. In case any assistance of the Court is required that shall be provided to him. This will be subject to the petitioner herein paying Rs.1100/- as costs to the respondents. Such cost shall be paid on or before the 3rd November, 2008 on which date the parties shall appear before the learned trial Court for further proceedings. It is clarified that in case costs are not paid, this petition will be deemed to have been dismissed with all consequences ensuring therefrom. October 23, 2008 (Dev Darshan Sud) (aks) Judge.
