Basanti .......Petitioner Versus Gram Panchayat .......Respondents CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE JITENDRA CHAUHAN Present: Mr. B.K. Bagri, Advocate, for the petitioner. **** JITENDRA CHAUHAN, J. (ORAL) The present revision petition is filed under Article 227 of the Constitution of India for setting aside the order dated 20.09.2011, passed by the learned Additional Civil Judge (Sr. Divn.), Kosli, Annexure P-4, vide which, the application for additional evidence of the petitioner in case No.264/2006, titled as Smt. Basanti Vs. Gram Panchayat Shadat Nagar and others, was dismissed. The learned counsel contends that the demarcation report presented in the instant case is vague and ambiguous, and therefore, it is necessary to bring on record the Masawi. From the perusal of the impugned order, Annexure P4, it is made out that the plaintiff failed to avail a number of opportunities 1 Civil Revision No.6997 of 2011 for leading the evidence. The suggestions were put to DW1 and DW3 during their cross-examination regarding masawi. However the petitioner chose to file the application on 09.02.2010. This delay is not explained. The learned counsel contends that the property involved is a dwelling unit and the petitioner is 87 years of age. Admittedly, there is a delay and negligence on the part of the petitioner in not producing the masawi earlier, however, this Court feels that in case the masawi is brought on record, it would better equip the Court to adjudicate the matter with greater precision. The copy of masawi is public record which is per se admissible in evidence. In view of the same and keeping in view the age of the petitioner, the revision petition is allowed, one last opportunity, to be fixed by the learned trial Court, is granted to the petitioner to place on record the copy of masawi subject to the payment of `10,000 as costs.
