Crl. Revision No.1400 of 2010 (O&M) 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl. Revision No.1400 of 2010 (O&M) Date of Decision: May 19, 2010 Kulwinder Singh ........Petitioner Versus Durga Textiles and another ........Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MRS. JUSTICE SABINA Present: Mr. Anupam Bhardwaj, Advocate for the petitioner. SABINA, J. Petitioner has filed this petition challenging the order dated 22.4.2010, whereby oral defence evidence of the petitioner was closed. Learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that now the case is listed for defence evidence and arguments on 27.5.2010. Petitioner will examine all the witnesses at his own risk and responsibility on 27.5.2010. Although, the petitioner had been given sufficient opportunity to lead his defence evidence, but he had failed to conclude the same and he had also failed to pay the cost. Keeping in view the fact that the case is listed for documentary evidence to be led by the petitioner in defence and arguments on 27.5.2010, it would be in the interest of justice to allow the petitioner to examine all his witnesses on the said date at his own risk and responsibility. In case the petitioner is allowed to examine his witnesses, the case would be disposed of on merits by taking into consideration the defence plea taken by the petitioner. Crl. Revision No.1400 of 2010 (O&M) 2 Accordingly, this petition is allowed. The petitioner is allowed to examine his witnesses in defence at his own risk and responsibility on 27.5.2010, the date fixed before the trial Court. No further opportunity will be granted to the petitioner to examine his witness thereafter. (SABINA) May 19, 2010 JUDGE Anand
