C.R. No. 3258 of 2011 [1] IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. C.R. No. 3258 of 2011 Date of Decision: May 17, 2011 Bishan Dass …..Petitioner Vs. Pawan Singh …..Respondent CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE M.M.S. BEDI. -.- Present:- Mr.S.S. Khaira, Advocate for the petitioner. -.- M.M.S. BEDI, J. (ORAL) Vide impugned order dated September 30, 2010, the evidence of the plaintiff has been closed by order after giving him the last opportunity. Counsel for the petitioner submits that in case one opportunity is granted to the plaintiff to produce his entire evidence, he will produce the witnesses at his own responsibility. It has been informed that defendant has also not produced evidence till date. C.R. No. 3258 of 2011 [2] After hearing counsel for the petitioner, I am of the considered opinion that no doubt, the plaintiff- petitioner had been negligent and casual in pursuing his case by not appearing as a witness and producing his witnesses when opportunity was given to him. By imposing cost upon him and compensating the defendant- respondent for the unnecessary harassment, in the interest of justice, the plaintiff can be given one opportunity to produce his entire evidence at his own responsibility. The petition is allowed in limine and it is ordered that petitioner will produce his entire evidence on next date of hearing fixed before the trial Court or on any other date fixed for the said purpose by the trial Court subject to payment of cost of ` 10000/-. The said cost will be offered on next date of hearing i.e. May 21, 2011. It is made clear that in case the cost is not paid and/ or all the witnesses are not produced on May 21, 2011 or any other date fixed by the trial Court, this petition will be deemed to have been dismissed.
