RAM CHAND GUPTA, J.(Oral) The present revision petition has been filed under Article 227 of the Constitution of India against order dated 27.4.2011, Annexure P1, passed by learned Civil Judge, Junior Division, Palwal, vide which evidence of the petitioner-defendant was closed by court order. It has been contended by learned counsel for the petitioner- defendant that issues in this case were framed on 24.12.2008 and evidence of respondents-plaintiffs was concluded on 5.3.2011, after taking sufficient opportunities. It is further contended that, however, on the third date fixed for evidence of petitioner-plaintiff, his evidence was closed. It is further contended that petitioner-defendant has also moved an application for summoning seven witnesses on 25.4.2011 and, however, only four witnesses were examined on 27.4.2011 and three could not come present. Though application for summoning of the witnesses was moved by petitioner-defendant late, however, in view of the fact that sufficient opportunities were also availed by respondents-plaintiffs to lead evidence, one opportunity can be granted to petitioner-defendant to conclude the evidence by taking dasti summons and the other party can be compensated by way of cost. Hence, the present revision petition is accepted. Impugned order is modified to the extent that learned trial Court is directed to grant Civil Revision No.3064 of 2011(O&M) -2- one opportunity to petitioner-defendant to conclude his evidence at his own responsibility by taking dasti summons subject to payment of `5,000/- as cost, which shall be a condition precedent. 9.5.2011 (Ram Chand Gupta) meenu Judge
