CR No. 6469 of 2008 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CR No. 6469 of 2008 Decided on : 25-11-2008 Akash Educational & Research Society ....Petitioner VERSUS Smt. Kusum Lata Goyal and another ....Respondents CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE MAHESH GROVER Present:- Mr. O.P.Hoshiarpuri, Advocate for the petitioner. MAHESH GROVER, J The petitioner has impugned the order dated 11.11.2008 vide which his defence under Order 8 Rule 1 CPC has been struck off. It was contended by the learned counsel for the petitioner that in the event of one opportunity being granted to him, he shall file his written statement. After hearing learned counsel for the petitioner and on perusal of the impugned order, I am of the considered opinion that the present revision petition can be disposed of at this stage without issuance of notice of motion as resorting to this process is likely to delay the proceedings further and also for the reason that the equitable justice can be ensured by compensating the other side with costs. Accordingly, the revision petition is accepted in the interest of justice and the impugned order is set aside. The petitioner is granted one opportunity to file his written statement which he shall file within a period CR No. 6469 of 2008 2 of four weeks from today, with a copy to the respondent-plaintiff. The revision petition is accepted, however, subject to payment of Rs. 3,000/- as costs. November 25, 2008 (Mahesh Grover) rekha Judge
