Civil Revision No. 2847 of 2009 -1- **** IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Revision No. 2847 of 2009 Date of decision : 15.1.2010 Manmohan Singh ....Petitioner Versus Sohan Singh ...Respondent **** CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE S. D. ANAND Present: Mr.Sarabjeet Khaira, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Vipin Mahajan, Advocate for the respondent S. D. ANAND, J. The petitioner herein is defendant in the civil suit before the learned Trial Court. His evidence was ordered to be closed under the orders of the Court on 12.2.2009. It was thereafter only that he filed a plea for obtaining the leave of the Court to adduce additional evidence on 16.4.2009. That endeavour made by the petitioner- defendant proved abortive at the hands of the learned Trial Judge which rejected that plea, vide order dated 29.4.2009. The defendant-petitioner is in revision against it. It is not the averment on behalf of the defendant- petitioner that adequate opportunity had not been afforded to the petitioner for adducing his evidence. Infact, it is noticed in the impugned order itself that the petitioner had availed of as many as Civil Revision No. 2847 of 2009 -2- **** 12 opportunities to conclude his evidence. That order never ever came to be challenged till date and had thereby attained finality. In the light of the fact that the evidence of the defendant/petitioner came to be closed under the orders of the Court and that order had attained finality and further that it was thereafter only then he petitioner filed a plea for additional evidence, the petition is held to be devoid of merit and is ordered to be dismissed. Disposed of accordingly. January 15, 2010 (S. D. ANAND) Pka JUDGE
