Civil Revision No. 5579 of 2011 1 In the High Court of Punjab and Haryana, at Chandigarh Civil Revision No. 5579 of 2011 Date of Decision: 13.9.2011 Tarlok Singh ... Petitioner Versus Jagwinder Singh and Others ... Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA. Present: Mr. Vikas Sagar, Advocate for the petitioner. Kanwaljit Singh Ahluwalia, J. (Oral) The present revision petition has been filed impugning the order dated 23.8.2011 (Annexure P1), passed by the Court of Civil Judge (Junior Division), Ludhiana, whereby the evidence of petitioner/plaintiff was closed by order. Learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted at bar that on 30.8.2011 no proceeding took place and the case was adjourned for today for defendants' evidence. He has brought to my notice statement of PW.4 Darshan Kumar, C.T.O., Punjab National Bank, Dhandari Khurd, Ludhiana, recorded on 23.9.2009, last lines whereof read as under:- “...I have not brought the file of compromise which was effected in the tractor loan account of Harchand Singh. I can bring the same and time may be granted for the purpose...” Civil Revision No. 5579 of 2011 2 Learned counsel has further read the order dated 23.9.2009, passed by the trial Court, which reads as under:- “Present: Counsel for the parties. Examination-in-chief of PW.4 recorded partly and remaining statement deferred to 17.12.2009 for want of record. Witness is directed to bring complete record on 17.12.2009 and for remaining PWs. Sd/- (J.P.S. Wahniwal), Ldh. 23.9.2009”. Learned counsel submits that on 27.9.2010, A.S. Sarkaria, Manager, Punjab National Bank, was present but he has not brought the relevant record. He further submits that no efforts were made by the trial Court to secure record from that official. Be that as it may, the present revision petition is accepted as this Court is of the view that one opportunity ought to be granted to the petitioner to examine the official witness along with the record. Thus, the trial Court is directed to take necessary steps, if need be, coercive also, to summon the official witness of the Bank along with the record so that the plaintiff's evidence is concluded. This order has been passed as a perusal of the orders, passed by the trial Court, reveals that the plaintiff was not at fault. (Kanwaljit Singh Ahluwalia) Judge September 13, 2011 “DK”
