IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH 1. Criminal Revision No. 405 of 2011 (O&M) Amarjit Singh … Petitioner Versus Charanjit Singh … Respondent 2. Criminal Revision No. 406 of 2011 (O&M) Amarjit Singh … Petitioner Versus Charanjit Singh … Respondent Date of decision: 16th February, 2011 CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA Present: Mr. Saqib Ali Khan, Advocate for the petitioner. KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA, J. (ORAL) By this common order, Criminal Revision No.405 of 2011 and Criminal Revision No.406 of 2011 titled as ‘Amarjit Singh v. Charanjit Singh’ shall be decided together. Learned counsel has stated that he had to appear in another criminal case at Barnala, and therefore, in the present case on the date fixed in the trial Court, the petitioner could not produce his defence evidence. It is further stated that in case one opportunity is granted to the petitioner, he will produce the entire defence evidence at his own risk and responsibility. Counsel has further stated that the petitioner is ready and willing to compensate the complainant in monetary terms for the delay caused in culmination of the proceedings. Normally this Court issues notice to the complainant, but since in the present case adopting of such a course will unnecessarily call Criminal Revisions No.405 and 406 of 2011 (O&M) for stay of the further proceedings, this Court proceeds to dispose of both the present petitions, as early culmination of the trial is in the interest of complainant. Consequently, both the present petitions are hereby disposed of by directing the trial Court to afford one opportunity to the petitioner to conclude his defence evidence at his own risk, responsibility and cost. For the delay caused in culmination of the proceedings, a cost of Rs.10,000/- is imposed upon the petitioner, who shall deposit the same with the trial Court. The amount of cost so deposited shall be disbursed to the complainant. However, in case the petitioner fails to deposit the amount of cost, the impugned order dated 17th January, 2011 shall operate.
