Civil Revision No.6739 of 2011 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Revision No.6739 of 2011 Date of Decision : 04.11.2011 Nishan Singh .......Petitioner Versus Ujjagar Singh and others .......Respondents CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE JITENDRA CHAUHAN Present: Mr. Abhinav Oberoi, Advocate, for the petitioner. **** JITENDRA CHAUHAN, J. (ORAL) By way of the present revision petition, the petitioner is seeking permission to file the written statement after the lapse of statutory period of 90 days. The learned trial Court, vide order dated 30.09.2011, dismissed the application moved by the petitioner, on the ground that the witnesses in question have already been examined by some of the defendants and the same relief is sought against all the defendants. The only grouse raised is that inadvertently, the counsel for the petitioner could not file the written statement within the stipulated period, and if the petitioner is allowed to file the written statement, it will not prejudice the case of the respondents and would advance the cause of justice. 1 Civil Revision No.6739 of 2011 The suit is at the stage of defendants’ evidence. Keeping in view the large number of parties involved in the litigation and the counsel being the same, the mistake in question could be said to be inadvertent. In view of the same, the present revision petition is allowed and the order dated 30.09.2011 (Annexure P1), is hereby set aside. The written statement of petitioner-defendant is allowed to be taken on record. However, the same shall be subject to the payment of `10,000/- as costs.
