IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CR No. 1719 of 2011 Date of Decision:11.03.2011 Rawail Singh Ahluwalia . . .Petitioner Versus Tarlochan Singh . . . Respondent ***** CORAM: HON’BLE MR.JUSTICE RAKESH KUMAR JAIN ***** Present: Mr.Vikram Anand, Advocate, for the petitioner. ***** RAKESH KUMAR JAIN, J (ORAL) This revision petition is directed against order dated 25.1.2011 passed by the Rent Controller, Jalandhar by which evidence of the petitioner/landlord has been ordered to be closed. Learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the learned Court below has closed the evidence on the ground that already five opportunities have been granted but only statement of PW1 Sukhdev Singh has been recorded. He submits that there is no fault of the petitioner as PW1 Sukhdev Singh was present on all the previous dates i.e. on 16.11.2010, 17.12.2010 and 05.01.2011 but the case was adjourned on the ground that counsel for the respondent was not available for the purpose of cross-examination. After hearing learned counsel for the petitioner and pursuing zimini orders of the earlier dates referred to above, I am satisfied that the order passed by the learned Rent Controller is patently illegal. Hence, the present revision petition is allowed and the impugned order is hereby set aside. (RAKESH KUMAR JAIN) MARCH 11, 2011 JUDGE Vivek
