IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CR No.7967/2011 Date of decision: 22.12.2011. Lachhman Singh ....................Petitioner v. Ranjit Singh and others .....................Respondents Coram: Hon'ble Mr.Justice Jaswant Singh Present: Mr.Rajinder Sharma,Advocate for the petitioner. Jaswant Singh.J.(Oral) Plaintiff no.2-Lachhman Singh in the present revision petition under Article 227 of the Constitution is aggrieved against the order dated 21.11.2011 whereby the cross examination of the three DWs has been treated as “nil” due to inability of his counsel to appear before the trial court to cross examine them. Learned counsel submits that the counsel for the petitioner could not appear due to marriage ceremony of son of his colleague and in any case for the fault of his counsel the cause of the plaintiff should not be made to suffer. After hearing the learned counsel and perusing the impugned order, though I find no illegality in the impugned order, however, keeping in view the facts and circumstances of the case, I deem it expedient in the interest of justice to grant one last opportunity to the petitioner to cross examine the aforesaid witnesses on a date to be fixed by the trial court. This shall, however, be subject to payment of costs of Rs.2000/- to be deposited with State Legal Services Authority, Punjab, Tarn Taran Branch. This order is being passed without issuing notice to respondents to avoid delay and expenditure on their behalf. Disposed of in the above terms. 22.12.2011 (Jaswant Singh) joshi Judge
