Crl. R No. 1329 of 2009 ::1:: IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl. R No. 1329 of 2009 Date of decision : January 27, 2011 Kartar Singh, ...... Petitioner v. Karamjit Singh and another, ...... Respondents *** CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE AJAY TEWARI *** Present : Mr. Amandeep Saini, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. S.S.Goraya, Advocate for the respondents. *** 1. Whether Reporters of Local Newspapers may be allowed to see the judgment ? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not ? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest ? *** AJAY TEWARI, J (Oral) Counsel for the parties are agreed that a sum of Rs.70,000/- stated to have been paid to the petitioner has not been paid, and state that as compromise talks have failed, the matter be decided on merit. This petition has been filed against the order dated 17.4.2009 closing evidence of the petitioner-complainant. The trial Court has observed that the petitioner has been granted 14 opportunities. Counsel for the respondents has strongly defended the Crl. R No. 1329 of 2009 ::2:: impugned order. In my opinion, even though negligence on the part of the petitioner cannot be ruled out yet to subserve the ends of justice, it would be appropriate if one last opportunity is granted to the petitioner to lead his entire evidence subject to payment of Rs.5,000/- as costs. Ordered accordingly. The parties, through their counsel, are directed to appear before the trial Court on 5.2.2011, when one date shall be fixed on which date the petitioner will lead his entire evidence. It is made clear that no further adjournment will be granted to the petitioner. Petition stands disposed of accordingly. ( AJAY TEWARI ) January 27, 2011. JUDGE `kk'
