Civil Revision No.343 of 2009 -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Revision No.343 of 2009 Date of decision 22.1.2009 Daljit Singh .....Appellant versus Mewa Singh .....Respondent Coram:- Hon'ble Mr. Justice K. Kannan. Present: Mr. Anuj Raura, Advocate for the petitioner. K. Kannan, J (Oral) 1. Notice to respondent is dispensed with having regard to the nature of order that is proposed to be passed. 2. When the matter was posted for adducing evidence on the side of the respondent, request had been made for further date on the ground that the respondent was unwell with dengue. The Rent Controller dismissed it saying that several opportunities had already been granted and there was no need for accommodating a plea for adjournment. 3. The learned counsel for the revision petitioner brings to my attention the fact that the case had been posted on 14.11.2008 for presence of the respondent and it had been adjourned to 26.11.2008 and still later on 4.12.2008 and again on 19.12.2008. Although no exception could be taken for the order of the Rent Controller having regard to the fact that he had placed the case for inquiry on 19.1.2009, as a last chance, I still think one more opportunity could be granted, having regard to the fact that it is contended that the respondent was suffering from serious ailment and he had bona fide reasons for non-appearance. Civil Revision No.343 of 2009 -2- 4. In the interest of justice the order of the Rent Controller passed on 13.1.2009 is set aside and the respondent shall be given one more opportunity for tendering his evidence. The civil revision is disposed of. 5. The respondent shall appear before the Rent Controller on 10.2.2009 when the case would be taken up and the respondent shall not seek for any time for adducing evidence. 6. Copy of the order be given dasti. 22.1.2009 ( K. KANNAN ) A. Kaundal JUDGE
