Chairman, Haryana Vidyut Prasaran Nigam Ltd. and another .....Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE RAM CHAND GUPTA Present: Mr.Ramesh Sindhar, Advocate for the petitioner. ..... RAM CHAND GUPTA, J.(Oral) The present revision petition has been filed under Article 227 of the Constitution of India read with Section 151 of the Code of Civil Procedure against order dated 5.4.2011, Annexure P1, vide which evidence of the petitioner-plaintiff was closed by learned Additional Civil Judge, Senior Division, Karnal. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner and have gone through the whole record carefully including the impugned order passed by learned trial Court. Evidence of the petitioner-plaintiff was closed by learned trial Court after granting him sufficient opportunities including last opportunities. However, it has been contended by learned counsel for the petitioner-plaintiff that petitioner-plaintiff could not examine himself as a witness as he met with an accident on 10.2.2010 and remained bed ridden and that he requests for only one opportunity for examining himself as a Civil Revision No.3134 of 2011(O&M) -2- witness as well as for examining a photographer, at his own responsibility. In view of these facts, though sufficient opportunities have been granted by learned trial Court to petitioner-plaintiff to adduce evidence, however, in the interest of justice, one opportunity can be granted to him to examine himself and a photographer, as his witnesses, and the other party can be compensated by way of cost. Hence, the present revision petition is accepted. Impugned order is modified to the extent that learned trial Court is directed to grant one opportunity to petitioner-plaintiff to examine himself and also to produce Baljeet Singh, Photographer, as his witnesses at his own responsibility subject to payment of `5,000/- as cost, which shall be a condition precedent. Disposed of accordingly. 11.5.2011 (Ram Chand Gupta) meenu Judge
