IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CR No. 6237 of 2008 Decided on : 12-11-2008 Bakshish Singh ....Petitioner VERSUS Kashmir Singh and others ....Respondents CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE MAHESH GROVER Present:- Mr. B.S.Jaswal, Advocate for the petitioner. MAHESH GROVER, J The petitioner was granted permission to lead additional evidence earlier. Subsequently, another application has now been moved for additional evidence which has been declined by virtue of the impugned order. Petition for additional evidence during the course of proceedings is an exceptional provision of law which enables the Court to permit a party to adduce additional evidence in order to ensure that proper justice is done and that the party does not suffer if it shows due cause and diligence. The fact that earlier his prayer had been granted shows that the Court had exercised its discretion in favour of the petitioner on its showing sufficient cause. The subsequent application again for the same relief cannot be granted and it can at best be termed as abuse of the process of law. No ground to interfere. Dismissed.
