(ORAL) The petitioner has filed a claim petition claiming compensation on account of the injuries suffered by him in the motor vehicle accident. Vide the impugned order, the evidence of the petitioner was closed. Hence, the present revision petition. Learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the petitioner is a handicapped person and has suffered disability to the extent of 83.3% and his eye sight and hearing capacity is also reducing day by day, due to the injuries suffered by him in the accident. Learned counsel has further submitted that one opportunity be granted to the petitioner to conclude his evidence, at his own risk and responsibility. After hearing learned counsel for the petitioner, I am of the opinion that the instant petition deserves to be allowed. C.R. NO. 7312 OF 2009 (o & m) -2- Although, four opportunities have already been granted to the petitioner to lead his evidence, yet keeping in view the facts and circumstances of this case, the ends of justice require that one more opportunity be granted to the petitioner to conclude his evidence.

The Tribunal is directed to grant one opportunity to the petitioner to conclude his evidence at his own risk and responsibility. Thereafter, the Tribunal shall proceed further with the case, in accordance with law. DECEMBER 10, 2009 (SABINA) shalini JUDGE
