IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Revision No. 6312 of 2010 Date of Decision: September 28, 2010 Resham Singh …Petitioner Versus Bharpur Singh and others … Respondents CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE ALOK SINGH 1. Whether reporters of local news papers may be Allowed to see judgment? 2. To be referred to reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? Present: Mr. Ranjodh Singh Sidhu, Advocate, for the petitioner. Alok Singh, J. (Oral) Present petition is filed challenging the order dated 14.09.2010 passed by the learned Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Tarn Taran, whereby the evidence of the claimant was closed after refusing adjournment to the claimant to produce other witnesses. Learned counsel for the petitioner – claimant contends that on the next date as fixed by this Court or by the C.R. No. 6312 of 2010 learned MACT, all the remaining witnesses shall be produced before the learned MACT. He further states that learned MACT should have granted adjournment as sought by the claimant because two AWs were examined on that date. In the peculiar facts and circumstances of the case, keeping in mind, the golden rule that none should be given walk over and lis between the parties, as far as possible, should be decided on merit after giving sufficient opportunities to both the parties to place on record entire evidence and material before the Court, I direct that MACT, Tarn Taran, shall fix any date beyond 11.10.2010 enabling the claimant to produce rest of the witnesses and on the date so fixed by the learned MACT, claimant shall produce all the witnesses, which shall be examined on that date. If examination of all the witnesses is not complete, for any reason, then learned MACT shall be at liberty to hold day-to-day trial or fix any future date, which is convenient to the Court. However, it is made clear that no further adjournment shall be granted to the claimant – petitioner for his evidence. Claimant – petitioner shall pay Rs. 1000/- as costs to the respondent/authority as directed by Ld. M.A.C.T. Petition shall stand disposed of accordingly.
