IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH C.R. No. 6179 of 2010 Date of Decision: 23.09.2010 Surinder Kumar .... Petitioner Versus Ashok Kumar and others ... Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE ALOK SINGH Present : Mr. B.S. Mittal, Advocate for the petitioner ALOK SINGH, J. (ORAL) Present petition is filed challenging order dated 25.8.2010 passed by Civil Judge (Jr. Divn.) Sirsa whereby the evidence of the defendant (petitioner herein) was directed to be closed. Learned counsel for the petitioner-defendant vehemently argued that DW-9 was examined on 29.4.2010, however, he had undergone brain surgery, hence, he was not able to stand in the Court during the cross-examination, hence, his cross-examination was deferred. He further states that DW-9 - Surinder Kumar has not recovered fully, hence, he would be produced for further cross- examination on any date fixed after four weeks from today. Considering the arguments and peculiar facts and circumstances of the case, I direct the trial Court to fix any date after four weeks and on such date petitioner-defendant shall produce DW- 9 for further cross-examination. However, it is made clear that no further adjournment shall be granted to the petitioner for this purpose. Petitioner shall pay Rs. 5,000/- as cost to the plaintiff. Petition stands disposed of.
