CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AJAY KUMAR MITTAL. PRESENT: Ms. Lovleen Dhaliwal, Advocate for the petitioners. None for the respondents. AJAY KUMAR MITTAL, J. In this revision petition filed by the petitioners under Article 227 of the Constitution of India, challenge is to the order dated 3.5.2011 passed by the trial court whereby the evidence of petitioners-defendants No.6 and 7 was closed by order of the Court. Learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that the defendants-petitioners could not produce their evidence due to certain unavoidable circumstances and in the interest of justice, one opportunity may be granted to them to lead their entire evidence and the respondents can be compensated by way of costs. He further submitted that the petitioners will conclude their entire evidence at their own risk and responsibility on the date to be fixed by the trial court. No one appears on behalf of the respondents despite service. CR No. 4359 of 2011 -2- After hearing learned counsel for the petitioners and in the facts and circumstances of the present case, this Court is satisfied that in the interest of justice the petitioners deserve to be granted one opportunity to conclude their entire evidence. Accordingly, the revision petition is disposed of with a direction that the petitioners shall be granted one opportunity to lead their entire evidence on the date to be fixed by the trial court at their own risk and responsibility and subject to payment of Rs.5,000/- to the respondents as costs. It is, however, made clear that in case the petitioners fail to conclude their entire evidence on the date to be fixed by the trial court or to pay the costs, as stipulated above, this revision petition shall be deemed to have been dismissed.
