C.R. 2584 of 2011 [1] IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. C.R. No. 2584 of 2011 Date of Decision: April 21, 2011 Jagjit Singh and another …..Petitioners Vs. Parsin Kaur and others …..Respondents CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE M.M.S. BEDI. -.- Present:- Mr.R.S. Chauhan, Advocate for the petitioners. -.- M.M.S. BEDI, J. (ORAL) Defendant-petitioners has questioned the propriety of the order dated March 26, 2011 closing the evidence of the defendants on March 21, 2011 on the statement of the counsel for the defendants while tendering the documents. Counsel for the petitioners submits that vide application dated December 17, 2010, filed before the Civil Judge (Junior Division), Sunam for examining three witnesses by the defendant- petitioners, a sum of ` C.R. 2584 of 2011 [2] 600/- was allowed to be deposited as diet money. The amount was deposited vide annexure P-3 on December 21, 2010. After considering all the circumstances, it appears that the defendant- petitioners has not made any request by filing an application before the trial Court for production of evidence explaining the circumstances. Despite Order 18 rule 17A CPC having been committed by amendment of the CPC, the trial Court, in the interest of justice, still has got an authority in the exercise of inherent power to permit the defendant- petitioners to examine the witnesses in case the diet money has already been deposited and for no fault of defendant- petitioners the witnesses have not been examined. With the abovesaid liberty to the petitioners, this petition is disposed of. April 21, 2011 (M.M.S.BEDI) sanjay JUDGE
