Civil Revision No. 1009 of 2010(O&M) 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Revision No. 1009 of 2010(O&M) Date of Decision: February 17 , 2010 Randhir Singh ...... Petitioner Versus Mohan Ram ...... Respondent Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Ajay Tewari Present: Mr.Dheeraj Bali, Advocate for the petitioner. **** 1. Whether Reporters of 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? Ajay Tewari, J. This petition has been filed against an order allowing the respondent-plaintiff to lead evidence in rebuttal in the form of examination of handwriting expert to prove that the petitioner-defendant appended his signatures on the Bahi of the respondent-plaintiff. Learned counsel has argued that the finding that the signatures were not denied in the written statement is incorrect and thus the only recourse to the plaintiff would have been to move an application for additional evidence. In my opinion the interest of justice would be met if appropriate costs are imposed on the respondent-plaintiff and an opportunity is also granted to the petitioner to lead evidence in the form of handwriting expert Civil Revision No. 1009 of 2010(O&M) 2 in case he so desires. In the circumstances this revision petition is disposed of with the modification that the costs imposed on the respondent-plaintiff would be Rs. 5000/-and an opportunity would be granted to the petitioner to lead evidence by way of examination of handwriting expert in case required. A copy of this order be given dasti to learned counsel for the petitioner on payment of usual charges. Since the main case has been decided, the pending Civil Misc. Applications, if any, stand disposed of. (AJAY TEWARI) JUDGE February 17 , 2010 sunita
