C.R.No.4858 of 2009(O&M) 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH C.R.No.4858 of 2009(O&M) Date of Decision:27.08.2009 Amrik Singh .....Petitioner versus Major Singh and another .....Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE AJAY KUMAR MITTAL. Present: Mr.Vinod K.Kataria, Advocate, for the petitioner. **** AJAY KUMAR MITTAL, J.(Oral) In this revision petition filed under Article 227 of the Constitution of India, the petitioner has prayed for setting aside the order dated 13.08.2009 passed by the Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal, Bathinda, (in short “the Tribunal”) whereby his evidence has been closed by the court order. Learned counsel for the petitioner states that in the interest of justice, one opportunity may be granted to the petitioner to lead the entire evidence at his own risk and responsibility and the respondents can be compensated by way of costs. He further submits that the petitioner will lead his entire evidence on a date to be fixed by the Tribunal. Ordinarily, I would have issued notice of motion to the respondents but as the issuance of notices would prolong the case and entail unnecessary expenses to them, the present petition is being disposed of without resorting to that course. After hearing the learned counsel for the petitioner and in the C.R.No.4858 of 2009(O&M) 2 facts and circumstances of the present case, this Court is satisfied that in the interest of justice, the petitioner deserves to be granted one opportunity to conclude his evidence. Accordingly, this revision petition is disposed of with a direction that the petitioner shall be granted one opportunity to conclude his entire evidence on the date to be fixed by the Tribunal at his own risk and responsibility and subject to payment of Rs.1500/- to the respondents as costs. It is, however, made clear that in case the petitioner fails to conclude his entire evidence or to pay the costs on the date so fixed by the Tribunal, as stipulated above, this revision petition shall be deemed to have been dismissed.
