Civil Revision No.4889 of 2009 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Revision No.4889 of 2009 Date of Decision:28.08.2009 M/s Mahinder Singh Natha Singh and others .....Petitioners versus Hardev Singh .....Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE AJAY KUMAR MITTAL. Present: Mr.K.K.Garg, Advocate, for the petitioners-defendants. **** AJAY KUMAR MITTAL, J.(Oral) In this revision petition filed under Article 227 of the Constitution of India, the petitioners-defendants have prayed for setting aside the order dated 04.03.2009 passed by the Civil Judge (Senior Division), Barnala, whereby their evidence has been closed by the order of the Court. Learned counsel for the petitioners states that in the interest of justice, one opportunity may be granted to the defendant-petitioners to lead their entire evidence at their own risk and responsibility and the plaintiff- respondent can be compensated by way of costs. He further submits that the petitioners will lead their entire evidence on 26.10.2009, the date already fixed in the trial Court. Ordinarily, I would have issued notice of motion to the respondent but as the issuance of notice would prolong the case and entail unnecessary expenses to him, the present petition is being disposed of without resorting to that course. Civil Revision No.4889 of 2009 2 After hearing the learned counsel for the defendant-petitioners and in the facts and circumstances of the present case, this Court is satisfied that in the interest of justice, the petitioners deserve to be granted one opportunity to conclude their evidence. Accordingly, this revision petition is disposed of with a direction that the petitioners shall be granted one opportunity to conclude their entire evidence on 26.10.2009, the date already fixed in the trial Court at their own risk and responsibility and subject to payment of Rs.5000/- to the plaintiff-respondent as costs. It is, however, made clear that in case the petitioners fail to conclude their entire evidence or to pay the costs on the said date, as stipulated above, this revision petition shall be deemed to have been dismissed.
