RSA No. 4008 of 2009 (O&M) 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH RSA No. 4008 of 2009 (O&M) Date of Decision: November 06 , 2009 Gurmail Singh and others ...... Appellants Versus Darshan Singh and others ...... Respondents Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Ajay Tewari Present: Mr.Sandeep Bansal, Advocate for the appellants. **** 1. Whether Reporters of local papers 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. This appeal has been filed against the concurrent judgments of the Courts below dismissing the suit of the appellants under Order 17 Rule 3 C.P.C. The only argument of learned counsel for the appellants is that adequate opportunity was not granted to the appellants to lead their evidence and consequently the appeal should be allowed, the impugned judgments and decrees be set aside and the case be remanded for fresh trial. Learned counsel, however, is not in a position to deny that as many as seven opportunities were granted to the appellants to lead their evidence and it was only in view of their obdurate omission to lead any evidence that the suit was dismissed. In my opinion the appellants cannot claim that adequate RSA No. 4008 of 2009 (O&M) 2 opportunity was not granted to them to lead their evidence. Consequently this appeal as well as the application for stay are dismissed. Since the main case has been decided, the pending Civil Misc. Applications, if any, stand disposed of.
