IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Revision No. 7143 of 2010 Date of Decision: November 01, 2010 Kulwant Singh. …Petitioner Versus Babu Singh and others. … Respondents CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE ALOK SINGH 1. Whether reporters of local news papers may be Allowed to see judgment? 2. To be referred to reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? Present: Ms. Sandeepta Mehta, Advocate, for the petitioner. Alok Singh, J. (Oral) Present petition is filed challenging the order dated 11.10.2010 passed by the learned Civil Judge (Junior Division), Dabwali, whereby application moved by the defendant – petitioner to place on record certified copy of the statement of Gurdass Singh, Patwari, recorded in previous litigation, as additional evidence, was rejected. Learned Trial Court while rejecting the application seeking permission to place on record additional evidence, has C.R. No.7143 of 2010 observed that defendant has closed his evidence on 30.09.2010. Learned Trial Court has further observed that in the earlier civil suit No. 276 of 2005 where Gurdass Singh, Patwari was said to be examined as a witness, plaintiff was not afforded any opportunity to cross-examine Gurdass Singh, Patwari, hence, statement of Gurdass Singh, Patwari recorded in the previous suit has no relevance in the present suit. I do not find any illegality or jurisdictional error in the impugned order. Petition is devoid of merit, hence, is dismissed. November 01, 2010 ( Alok Singh ) vkd Judge 2
