IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH C.R.No.4870 of 2010 (O&M) Date of Decision : 17.8.2010 Sapinder Singh & another ....Petitioners Versus Sukhwinder Kaur and others ...Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE MAHESH GROVER .... Present : Mr.Devinder Singh, Advocate for the petitioners. ..... MAHESH GROVER, J. After hearing the learned counsel for the petitioners, I find that there is no legal infirmity in the impugned order. The petitioners, who wilfully did not file the written statement for more than 2 years, have been proceeded against by striking off their defence. Learned counsel for the petitioners stated that irreparable loss would be caused to him in the event of such an order standing. I am afraid, even though this contention cannot be legitimized, yet having regard to the fact that the dispute is inter se between the family members and purely in the interest of justice, one opportunity is granted to the petitioners to file their written statement within one week from today. No further indulgence shall be shown to the petitioners under any circumstances. The impugned order is set aside subject to payment of Rs.20,000/- as costs. C.R.No.4870 of 2010 (O&M) -2- The petition is disposed of accordingly. 17.8.2010 (MAHESH GROVER) JUDGE dss
