IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH C.R.No.8172 of 2010 Date of decision : 16.12.2010 Udai Singh ....Petitioner Versus Jiwan Ram Sanghi ...Respondent CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE MAHESH GROVER .... Present : Mr.J.P.Sharma, Advocate for the petitioner. ..... MAHESH GROVER, J. After hearing the learned counsel for the petitioner, I am of the opinion that the instant revision petition can be disposed of at this stage without issuance of notice of motion to the other side, as having recourse to this process is likely to take more time. The petitioner is aggrieved by the orders dated 19.10.2010 and 20.11.2010 vide which he was proceeded against ex-parte and his application for setting aside the said ex parte order was dismissed. Learned counsel for the petitioner states that the impugned orders be set aside and if only one effective opportunity is granted to him to cross examine the witnesses of the respondent, he shall do so on the date fixed by the trial Court. After hearing the learned counsel for the petitioner and C.R.No.8172 of 2010 -2- perusing the impugned orders, I am of the opinion that there is no legal infirmity therein. However, considering purely the interest of justice and also the fact that substantial justice can be ensured by compensating the other side with costs, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the revision petition with a direction to the learned trial Court to afford one effective opportunity to the petitioner to cross examine the three witnesses of the respondent and thereafter one opportunity to produce his entire evidence at his own risk and responsibility. It is made clear that no further indulgence shall be shown to him under any circumstances. The impugned orders are set aside subject to payment of Rs.20,000/- as costs. 16.12.2010 (MAHESH GROVER) JUDGE dss
