IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Revision No.734 of 2008 Date of decision: February 6, 2008. Mrs. Kavita Gupta & Anr. ...Petitioner(s) v. Pawan Kumar & Ors. ...Respondent(s) CORAM:HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SURYA KANT 1. Whether Reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgment ? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not ? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest. Present: Shri Amit Jhanji, Advocate for the petitioners. ORDER Surya Kant, J. - This Revision Petition is directed against the order dated 17.1.2008 (Annexure P-1) passed by the learned Civil Judge (Junior Division), Ludhiana whereby the petitioner-defendants' evidence has been closed after observing that, “numerous opportunities including last and final opportunity was granted” to them. Learned Counsel for the Petitioners submits that out of eight, six witnesses have already been examined and some of them have been cross-examined as well. He further contends that only two witnesses are yet to be produced for which only one opportunity in the larger interest of justice may be given. Having regard to the nature of relief sought in this Petition, I am not inclined to issue notice of motion as no immeasurable prejudice is likely to be caused to the respondent – plaintiff, more so when he can be suitably compensated with costs. Having heard Learned Counsel for the Petitioners and taking into consideration all the attending circumstances, this Revision Petition is partly allowed to the extent that the impugned order dated 17.1.2008 is set aside/modified and the learned trial court is directed to grant one more opportunity to the petitioners to lead their remaining evidence at their own responsibility, however, subject to their payment of costs of Rs.3500/- to the respondent – plaintiff. Disposed of. Dasti. February 6, 2008. [ Surya Kant ] kadyan Judge
