IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH C.R.No.2949 of 2010 Date of Decision : 5.5.2010 Sukchain Singh ....Petitioner Versus The Deputy Commissioner, Amritsar and Anr. ...Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE MAHESH GROVER .... Present : Mr. Raj Kaushik, Advocate for the petitioner. ..... MAHESH GROVER, J. Learned counsel for the petitioner states that if one opportunity is granted to him he will cross-examine the respondent. He stated that his election is under challenge and it is due to the fault of the counsel that cross-examination of respondentNo.2 could not be conducted in time. After hearing the learned counsel for the petitioner and noticing the fact that proceedings before the Election Tribunal are arising from an election petition and issuance of notice of motion to the respondents is likely to delay the proceedings further, I deem it appropriate to dispose of this petition without resorting to this process and equitable justice can also be ensured by compensating the other side with costs. A perusal of the impugned order does not reveal any infirmity therein. The petitioner himself has been involved in C.R.No.2949 of 2010 -2- delaying the prosecution of his case and therefore it cannot be said that there is a legal infirmity in the impugned order. But keeping in view purely the interest of justice and also the fact that the petitioner happens to be an elected representative whose election has been challenged, I deem it appropriate to set aside the impugned order subject to payment of Rs.25,000/- a costs which shall be paid to respondent No.2. 5.5.2010 (MAHESH GROVER) JUDGE dss
