IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CR No.6202/2011 Date of decision: 05.10.2011. M/s Kali Ram Jai Parshad and another ....................Petitioners v. Darshan Singh .....................Respondent Coram: Hon'ble Mr.Justice Jaswant Singh Present: Mr.Sourabh Garg,Advocate for the petitioners. Jaswant Singh.J.(Oral) Plaintiffs/petitioners have filed the instant revision petition under Article 227 of the Constitution challenging the order dated 8.8.2011 passed by the trial court whereby their evidence has been closed by court order. It is submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioner that the impugned order has been passed in a mechanical order against the law and facts on the file and as such is liable to be set aside. In the alternative, it is prayed that one last opportunity to examine Bal Kishan, Munshi (Clerk) of the petitioner firm to prove the bahi entries and to tender his affidavit, which is ready, be granted, subject to imposition of costs, as this Court may deem fit. After hearing the learned counsel and perusing the impugned order I find no illegality warranting interference by this Court. It is apparent from perusal of the impugned order that issues were framed on 4.6.2011 and the petitioners/plaintiffs had already availed six effective opportunities to lead their evidence. Petitioners even did not file list of witnesses to be examined. Thus, the learned trial court found that there was no justification for grant of any further opportunity to the petitioners/plaintiffs to lead their evidence. As noticed above though no case for interference is made out, however, keeping in view the fact that only one witness remains to be examined by the petitioners/plaintiffs to prove the bahi entries and to tender his affidavit, I deem it just and expedient in the interest of justice to grant one last opportunity to the plaintiffs/petitioners to conclude their evidence subject to payment of costs. Accordingly, present revision petition is allowed. Impugned order dated 8.8.2011 is set aside and the petitioners are granted one last opportunity to conclude their evidence on a date to be fixed by the trial court. This, shall,however, be subject to payment of costs of Rs.3000/- to defendant by way of demand draft and another sum of Rs.2000/- to be deposited with the District Legal Service Authority. The payment of costs shall be a condition precedent for granting the said last opportunity by the trial court. This order is being passed without issuing notice to the respondent as it would result in unnecessary delay in the matter and expenses to him. In any case, respondent is being compensated by way of costs. 05.10.2011 (Jaswant Singh) joshi Judge
