Civil Revision No. 190 of 2010 -1- **** IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Revision No. 290 of 2010 Date of decision : 18.1.2010 Adesh Garg ....Petitioner Versus Chaman Lal ...Respondent **** CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE S. D. ANAND Present: Mr. Santosh Sharma, Advocate for the petitioner. S. D. ANAND, J. The petitioner herein had filed a rent petition before the learned Trial Court to obtain the ejectment of the respondent from the tenanted premises. After availing as many as ten opportunities for adducing rebuttal evidence, petitioner filed an application to obtain the FSL opinion regarding the correctness or otherwise of the signature of respondent-Chaman Lal on the written statement dated 2.5.2002 and General Power of Attorney Ex. RW3/A. The plea did not find favour with the learned Rent Controller. It is apparent, from a persual of the quoted pleadings of the parties, that there indeed was dispute about the genuineness or otherwise of the General Power of Attorney executed by respondent-tenant Chaman Lal in favour of his son Kishan Kumar. Thus, the controversy to be adjudicated upon at the trial was crystal Civil Revision No. 190 of 2010 -2- **** clear to the parties. Both the parties concluded their evidence of affirmative character and the matter came to be adjourned for recording of rebuttal evidence and arguments. It was only after the petitioner herein had availed of as many as ten opportunities for adducing of rebuttal evidence that he came forward with the plea under challenge. In view of the fact that the controversy between the parties was very clear to them from the very beginning and the petitioner herein availed of as many as ten opportunities for adducing the rebuttal evidence, the plea raised deserves outright invalidation. The learned Rent Controller rightly negatived the plea. I have no reservations in affirming the view obtained by the learned Rent Controller. The petition is held to be denuded of merit and is ordered to be dismissed in limine. January 18, 2010 (S. D. ANAND) Pka JUDGE
