C.R. No.754 of 2008 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. C.R. No.754 of 2008 Date of Decision: 6.2.2008 Smt.Kamlesh Bhatnagar .....Petitioner Vs. Hemant Kumar ...Respondent .... CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE RAJIVE BHALLA **** Present : Mr.Sanjay Vij, Advocate for the petitioner. ... RAJIVE BHALLA, J (Oral) Challenge in this revision petition is, to an order dated 31.1.2008 passed by the Civil Judge (Junior Division), Gurgaon, whereby the learned trial Court dismissed an application for liberty to lead additional/secondary evidence. The defendant, set up his claim based upon sale deeds dated 10.4.1989 and 25.5.1992. However, the sale deeds were not produced by the defendant during his evidence and, therefore, as prayed by the petitioner, the learned trial Court should have accepted the application and allowed the petitioner to produce the sale deeds, so as to disprove the defence set up by the respondent. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner and perused the impugned order. The learned trial Court has rightly dismissed the application. The failure of the defendant to produce the aforementioned sale deeds, would not confer any right upon the petitioner to lead the sale deeds in C.R. No.754 of 2008 2 evidence. As rightly observed by the trial Court, failure of the defendant to produce the sale deeds would lead to an adverse inference being drawn against him. In this view of the matter, the present petition is dismissed. 6.2.2008 ( RAJIVE BHALLA ) GS JUDGE
