JUSTICE VINOD K.SHARMA Present:- Mr. Vikas Kumar, Advocate, for the petitioner. ***** VINOD K.SHARMA, J. (ORAL) The petitioner has invoked the jurisdiction of this Court under Article 227 of the Constitution of India, to challenge the order dated 8.9.2010 passed by the learned District Judge, Family Court, Faridabad, vide which the evidence of the petitioner was ordered to be closed by passing the following order: - “No RW is present. The learned proxy counsel for the respondent requested for adjournment. However, perusal of record shows that already two opportunities for respondent's evidence have been accorded. Apart from that the respondent in this petition has availed more than five opportunities for respondent's evidence has availed to conclude his evidence. For seeking adjournment, no justified ground has been explained today. In these circumstances, in my opinion, the request for adjournment is devoid of merit deserves to be declined. Consequently, the request is hereby declined. The evidence of respondent is hereby closed by Court order. Now to come up on 15.9.2010 for evidence of petitioner in rebuttal and arguments.” Learned counsel for the petitioner does not contest the case on merits and prays that in the interest of justice, the petitioner be granted Civil Revision No.6158 of 2010 -2- one last opportunity to conclude his entire evidence, subject to payment of costs. In view of the stand taken by the learned counsel for the petitioner, this Court feels that it would be in the interest of justice if the petitioner is granted one last opportunity to conclude his entire evidence at his own risk and responsibility on the date to be fixed by the learned Family Court. “Ordered accordingly.” However, this shall be subject to payment of Rs.5,000/- (Rupees five thousand only) as costs. Disposed off. (Vinod K. Sharma) Judge September 23, 2010 R.S.
