Sukhvinder Singh and others ...Respondents .... CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE RAJIVE BHALLA **** Present : Mr. A.S. Syan, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr.Suneet Sharma, Advocate and Ms.Vandana Malhotra, Advocate for respondent no.4. ... RAJIVE BHALLA, J (Oral) Prayer in this revision is to set aside the order dated 29.8.2007 passed by the learned Motor Accident Claims Tribunal (M.A.C.T.), Patiala, closing the petitioner's evidence by order. The petitioner, who was injured in a road accident, filed a claim petition, before the M.A.C.T., Patiala. The learned Tribunal closed the petitioner's evidence by observing that a last opportunity had already been granted. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the impugned order. The learned Tribunal, should have granted another opportunity to the petitioner, to lead his entire evidence by passing a pre-emptory order. In case, the petitioner is not been granted an opportunity to lead evidence, it would lead to serious prejudice in establishing his claim. C.R. No.4789 of 2007 2 Consequently, the revision petition is allowed. The order dated 29.8.2007 is set aside and the petitioner is granted one effective opportunity to lead his entire evidence. It is made clear that no further opportunity shall be granted. 11.3.2008 ( RAJIVE BHALLA ) GS JUDGE
