IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CR No. 4220 of 2009 Date of Decision: 29.7.2009 Kanta Saggi ....Petitioner. Versus Smt. Saroj Kakkar and others ...Respondents. CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AJAY KUMAR MITTAL. PRESENT: Mr. Deepak Arora, Advocate for the petitioner. AJAY KUMAR MITTAL, J. In this revision petition filed under Article 227 of the Constitution of India, challenge is to the order dated 20.7.2009 passed by Civil Judge (Junior Division), Jalandhar, whereby the evidence of the defendant has been closed by the order of the Court. Counsel for the petitioner submitted that in the interest of justice, one opportunity may be granted to the petitioner to lead her entire evidence and plaintiff-respondent No.1 can be compensated by way of costs. He further submits that the petitioner will conclude his entire evidence at her own risk and responsibility on 17.8.2009, the date already fixed before the trial court. Ordinarily, I would have issued notice of motion to the respondents but as the issuance of notice would prolong the case and entail unnecessary expenses to them, the present petition is being disposed of without resorting to that course. C.R. No. 4220 of 2009 -2- After hearing learned counsel for the petitioner and in the facts and circumstances of the present case, this Court is satisfied that in the interest of justice the petitioner deserves to be granted one opportunity to conclude her entire evidence. Accordingly, the revision petition is disposed of with a direction that the petitioner shall be granted one opportunity to lead her entire evidence on 17.8.2009, the date already fixed before the trial Court at her own risk and responsibility and subject to payment of Rs.5,000/- to plaintiff- respondent No.1 as costs. It is, however, made clear that in case the petitioner fails to conclude her entire evidence on the said date or to pay the costs, as stipulated above, this revision petition shall be deemed to have been dismissed.
