CR No.6954 of 2011 (O&M) 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CR No.6954 of 2011 (O&M) Date of decision: 15.11.2011 Darshan Singh ...Petitioner Versus Mehar Singh and others ...Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE JITENDRA CHAUHAN Present: Mr.Satbir Rathore, Advocate for the petitioner **** Jitendra Chauhan, J. (Oral) The present revision petition has been filed under Article 227 of the Constitution of India for setting aside the impugned order dated 13.10.2011, (Annexure P-3) passed by the learned Additional Civil Judge (Senior Division), Mukerian, vide which evidence of the plaintiff- petitioner has been ordered to be closed by court's order. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner and perused the case file. Learned counsel has failed to point out any illegality in the impugned order dated 13.10.2011, passed by learned Additional Civil Judge (Senior Division), Mukerian. However, the cross-examination of the petitioner and one of his witness namely Harbhajan Singh would help the court to adjudicate the matter in the manner that would save the parties from further litigation. The cross-examination of these witnesses is likely to materially affect the outcome of the suit. The affidavits in the form of examination-in – chief of Darshan Singh plaintiff and Harbhajan Singh are CR No.6954 of 2011 (O&M) 2 already on record. Therefore, this Court feels that it would be in the larger interest of the parties, if one last opportunity is granted to conclude the evidence of the plaintiff-petitioner. Accordingly, the present revision petition is accepted and the impugned order dated 13.10.2011 (Annexure P-3) is set aside. The learned Trial Court is directed to grant one last opportunity to the plaintiff-petitioner to offer himself for cross-examination and to produce Harbhajan Singh for cross-examination at his own risk and responsibility. However, the same shall be subject to payment of `10,000/- as cost. The date will be fixed by the learned trial court. 15.11.2011 (JITENDRA CHAUHAN) gsv JUDGE
