Civil Revision No.7803 of 2011 (O&M) IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Revision No.7803 of 2011 (O&M) Date of Decision : 16.12.2011 Amarjit Singh .......Petitioner Versus Gurcharan Singh and Others .......Respondents CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE JITENDRA CHAUHAN Present: Mr. Mahesh Gupta, Advocate, for the petitioner. **** JITENDRA CHAUHAN, J. (ORAL) The petitioner has approached this Court under Article 227 of the Constitution of India, praying for setting aside the order dated 31.10.2011 (Annexure P-1), vide which the documentary evidence of the petitioner-plaintiff was closed by order. The learned counsel for the petitioner contends that after framing of the issues on 19.02.2011, the case was fixed for the evidence of the plaintiff-petitioner for 03.06.2011. However, the case was taken up on 02.06.2011 as the learned Presiding officer had to proceed on leave from 03.06.2011. The matter was adjourned to 22.08.2011, which being a gazetted holiday, it was taken up on 23.08.2011 and further adjourned to 10.09.2011. On 10.09.2011, the plaintiff examined one witness and the case was adjourned to 1 Civil Revision No.7803 of 2011 (O&M) 01.10.2011. On 01.10.2011, the plaintiff concluded the oral evidence and sought time to produce the documentary evidence. It is contended that without appreciating the fact that the plaintiff-petitioner did not close the entire evidence, the learned trial Court passed the impugned order and closed the evidence of the plaintiff by order. From the perusal of the impugned order dated 31.10.2011, it is made out that the plaintiff had tendered into evidence documents Ex.P1 to Ex.P7 and Mark-A. The learned Court closed the evidence of the plaintiff by order as he had already availed sufficient opportunities. Without adverting to the merits of the present case, to advance the cause of justice, one effective opportunity is granted to the petitioner to lead his documentary evidence, on the date to be fixed by the learned trial Court. However, the same shall be subject to the payment of `15,000/- as costs. ( JITENDRA CHAUHAN ) 16.12.2011 JUDGE atulsethi Note: Whether to be referred to reporter ? Yes/No 2
