CR No.7846 of 2011 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CR No.7846 of 2011 Date of Decision : 19.12.2011 Shashi .......Petitioner Versus The Chairman, Haryana Housing Board, Panchkula .......Respondents CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE JITENDRA CHAUHAN Present: Mr. Parminder Singh, Advocate, for the petitioner. **** JITENDRA CHAUHAN, J. (ORAL) The petitioner has approached this Court under Article 227 of the Constitution of India for setting aside the order dated 29.11.2011 (Annexure P-5), whereby the application for adducing documentary evidence (official documents) had been rejected. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the plaintiff-petitioner filed suit for declaration with mandatory injunction to the effect that the order dated 22.8.2006, whereby the period of leave on medical grounds being treated as extra ordinary leave without pay is illegal, null, void, arbitrary and against the principles of natural justice. It is further contended that after framing the issues, the defendant-respondents, in order to discharge the onus upon them, 1 CR No.7846 of 2011 alleged that certain irregularity had been found in the accounts of some plot holders with regard to the deposit of instalments, the plaintiff-petitioner had the control/responsibility of maintaining the accounts of the said plot holders. The learned counsel contends that at the time of leading evidence, the plaintiff-petitioner could not anticipate adducing of such kind of evidence by the defendants, and therefore, she moved an application for permission to place on record certain official documents. Without adverting to the merits of the present case, this Court feels that the documents sought to be produced on record are part of the official record of the respondents and will help the learned Court below to adjudicate the dispute with greater precision. In this view of the matter, the present revision petition is allowed; the impugned order dated 29.11.2011 (Annexure P-5) is set aside; and the petitioner is granted one more opportunity to adduce the documentary evidence as prayed for. However, the same shall be subject to the deposit of `11,000/- as costs. The date to adduce the evidence shall be fixed by the concerned Court.
