Civil Revision No.1199 of 2011(O&M) -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Civil Revision No.1199 of 2011(O&M) Date of Decision: February 21, 2011 Yogesh Sharma .....Petitioner v. Jaspreet Singh Walia and another .....Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE RAM CHAND GUPTA Present: Mr.Shiv Kumar, Advocate for the petitioner. ...... RAM CHAND GUPTA, J.(Oral) The present revision petition has been filed under Article 227 of the Constitution of India for setting aside order dated 28.1.2011, passed by learned Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Faridabad, vide which evidence of the petitioner has been closed by order. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner and have gone through the whole record carefully including the impugned order passed by learned Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Faridabad. Facts relevant for the decision of present revision petition are that the present petition for compensation on account of injuries received by petitioner in a motor vehicle accident was filed on 25.4.2009. Initially respondents were proceeded ex parte. Some evidence of petitioner was also recorded and however, lateron, on an application of respondents, ex parte proceedings were set aside and hence there was some delay in concluding the evidence of the petitioner. It has also been contended that petitioner could not adduce evidence earlier as second operation was performed to treat his injuries during pendency of the petition. Hence, in view of these facts, though sufficient opportunities were availed by petitioner to adduce evidence, however, in the interest of justice, one opportunity can be granted to him to conclude the evidence at his own responsibility. Civil Revision No.1199 of 2011(O&M) -2- As a sequel to my above discussion, the present revision petition is accepted. Impugned order is modified to the extent that learned Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Faridabad, is directed to grant one effective opportunity to the petitioner to conclude his evidence at his own responsibility subject to payment of cost of Rs.1,000/-, which shall be a condition precedent. Disposed of accordingly. 21.2.2011 (Ram Chand Gupta) meenu Judge
