IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CR No.4562/2011(O&M) Date of decision: 29.07.2011. Sheo Pal Singh ....................Petitioner v. Dharamvir and others .....................Respondents Coram: Hon'ble Mr.Justice Jaswant Singh Present: Mr.R.A.Sheoran,Advocate for the petitioner Jaswant Singh.J.(Oral) Defendant no.5/petitioner in the present revision petition under Article 227 of the Constitution has assailed the order dated 26.7.2011 (P1) whereby the learned trial court has dismissed his application for leading additional evidence. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that additional evidence sought to be produced on record relates to two rapat roznamcha nos. 187 and 188 dated 21.12.1956 which are per se admissible and are necessary for the just and proper decision of the case. After hearing the counsel for the petitioner, I find no illegality in the impugned order passed by the learned trial court. It has been noticed that the defendant had taken 3½ years to complete his evidence. His evidence was closed on 17.8.2009 and the present application has been moved at a stage when the case is fixed for arguments. It has further been noticed that with regard to the revenue record relating to the year 1956, petitioner had summoned one Revenue Patwari. However, the revenue official did not appear and thereafter the evidence of the petitioner/defendant was closed. As regards the argument that no evidence is required to be produced at this stage as the rapat roznamchas are per se admissible, learned counsel has not been able to show any provision which makes such a record per se admissible. In fact rapat roznamchas are required to be proved by leading of additional evidence. In view of the above,finding no merit in this revision petition the same is dismissed. 29.07.2011 (Jaswant Singh) joshi Judge
