IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH C.R. No. 5519 of 2006 Date of decision : May 26, 2009 Namrata Goyal Petitioner Versus Dalbara Singh and others Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE A.N. JINDAL Present: Mr. P.K. Gupta, Advocate for the petitioner Mr. H.P.S. Ghuman, Advocate for respondents No. 1, 3 and 5 A.N. JINDAL, J. (ORAL) The zimni order dated 11.5.2006 reveals that the Court had adjourned the case to 11.9.2006 and the witnesses were ordered to be summoned for the said date. The witnesses did not put in appearance on that date, therefore, the Court closed the evidence by order. The grievance of the petitioner is that he is fair in his conduct as the case has been pending since 2004 but Court did not examine any witness. Keeping in view the serious responsibility upon the Court to procure the witnesses in case they did not appear in the Court despite service, I allow this petition and set aside the impugned order and direct the court to procure the witnesses. However, keeping in view, delay caused in the instant case, which is purely for the fault on the part of the petitioner, it is directed that the petitioner would complete his evidence within two months subject to payment of Rs. 5000/- as costs.
