C.R.No.5268 of 2009 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH C.R.No.5268 of 2009 Date of Decision : 14.09.2009 Gurdial Singh ...Petitioner Versus Pal Singh ...Respondent CORAM:HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE HEMANT GUPTA Present: Ms. Amandeep Soni, Advocate, for the appellant. HEMANT GUPTA, J. (ORAL) The plaintiff is in revision aggrieved against the order passed by the learned trial Court on 5.8.2009, whereby the evidence of the plaintiff was closed and the case is fixed for the evidence of the defendant on 16.9.2009. Though the perusal of the interim order shows that sufficient opportunities were given to the plaintiff to lead his evidence, but it is pointed out that in fact the plaintiff had to go abroad urgently and, therefore, he could not lead his evidence on the date fixed. Learned counsel for the petitioner states that if one opportunity is granted, the petitioner shall conclude his entire evidence on the date fixed and shall also compensate the defendant for the delay in leading his evidence. In view of the aforesaid circumstances, I deem it appropriate to grant one opportunity to the plaintiff to lead his entire evidence on the date fixed i.e. 16.9.2009 subject to payment of Rs.5000/- as costs, including the costs earlier imposed by the learned trial Court. In the C.R.No.5268 of 2009 2 event, the petitioner either fails to pay costs or to lead his entire evidence on the date fixed, his evidence would be deemed to be closed. The present revision petition stands disposed of in above terms. 14.09.2009 (HEMANT GUPTA) Vimal JUDGE
