IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH C.R .No.2357 of 2008 Date of Decision:- 28.04.2008 The Hisar Geet Cooperative House Building Society, Hisar ....Petitioner(s) through Mr.R.S.Mittal, Sr. Advocate with Mr.Sudhir Mittal, Advocate. vs. Jagdish Chander and another ....Respondent(s) through Mr.Vinod Sharma Bhardwaj, Advocate *** CORAM:-HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. *** 1) Whether Reporters of the local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2) To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3) Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? *** SURYA KANT, J. (ORAL) This revision petition is directed against the order dated 9.4.2008 passed by the learned Civil Judge (Sr.Division), Hisar whereby the petitioner-defendant's evidence has been closed. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the record. It appears that previously also, the petitioner's evidence was closed. The petitioner-Society, therefore, approached this Court by way of Civil Revision No.616 of 2008 which was disposed of on 22.2.2008 (Annexure P- 1) with a direction “to grant one effective opportunity to the petitioner, to produce his entire evidence, namely, to produce Vinod Avasthi for his cross-examination, subject to payment of Rs.5,000/- as costs.” It further appears that instead of Vinod Avasthi, as referred to by this Court in its order dated 22.2.2008, the petitioner wanted to produce C.R .No.2357 of 2008 -2- one Vinod Saili as its witness on the ground that said Vinod Saili is the President of the petitioner-Society and Vinod Avasthi is too unwell to depose. It is stated by learned counsel for the petitioner that Vinod Avasthi has unfortunately expired on 10.4.2008. In these circumstances, the prayer made by the petitioner- Society that instead of Vinod Avasthi it should be permitted to produce Vinod Saili-its President, appears to be bona fide, fair and just. Consequently, the revision petition is allowed; the impugned order dated 9.4.2008 is set aside and it is directed that one opportunity has already granted by this Court vide order dated February 22, 2008 be granted to the petitioner-Society to produce its President Vinod Saili as its witness.
