IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Revision No. 2173 of 2010 Date of decision : March 31, 2010 Rajiv Kumar ....Petitioner versus A.K. Wasuja ....Respondent Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice L.N. Mittal Present : Mr. Sudhir Mittal, Advocate, for the petitioner L.N. Mittal, J. (Oral) This is revision petition by tenant filed under Article 227 of the Constitution of India assailing order dated 26.3.2010, Annexure P/9, passed by learned Rent Controller, Panchkula, thereby closing evidence of the petitioner-tenant by court order in ejectment petition filed by respondent- landlord. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the case file. Learned counsel for the petitioner prays that only one more opportunity may be granted to the petitioner to lead his remaining evidence at his own responsibility on payment of costs. Learned counsel for the petitioner states that one month time may be granted to the petitioner because one witness to be examined is lying ill at Mumbai. Keeping in view the zimini orders of the learned Rent Controller, Annexure P/4 collectively, I am of the considered opinion that the aforesaid prayer made Civil Revision No. 2173 of 2010 -2- by learned counsel for the petitioner deserves to be allowed. I intend to dispose of the instant petition without issuing notice to respondent so as to avoid further delay in disposal of the ejectment petition and also to save the respondent of the expenses that may be incurred for engaging counsel if notice of the revision petition is issued to him. In view of the aforesaid, the instant revision petition is allowed and learned Rent Controller, Panchkula is directed to give only one more opportunity to the petitioner-tenant to lead his remaining evidence at own responsibility subject to payment of Rs 2000/- as costs precedent. The petitioner shall be granted at least one month time for this purpose. The petitioner may take assistance of the court for summoning any witness but it shall be no ground to grant any more opportunity to the petitioner for his evidence even if any witness remains unserved or does not appear in spite of service or on any other ground whatsoever.
