1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE FOR RAJASTHAN BENCH AT JAIPUR S.B. CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO.8202/07 Satyendra Singh Jain vs. Ramsharan Sharma Date of order : 4/2/2008. HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE MOHAMMAD RAFIQ Shri J.P. Goyal for the petitioner. ****** Heard learned counsel for the petitioner. This writ petition has been filed challenging the order dated 7.8.2007 whereby certain documents filed by the respondent- landlord have been allowed to be taken on record which he filed in exercise of his right to rebuttal. While allowing the application, the learned Rent Tribunal has awarded the cost of Rs.200/- to the petitioner-tenant. Learned counsel for the petitioner has argued that when the evidence of the respondent was concluded, he did not reserve the right to rebuttal, therefore, at the belated stage, such documents could not be allowed to be taken on record. It was argued that the respondent already completed his evidence on 1.2.2007 and, thereafter, 2 evidence of the landlord has started and permitting the documents on record at this stage would delay the proceedings. Having heard the learned counsel for the petitioner, I find that the documents which have been placed on record are relating to allotment letter, possession letter and lease deed of Plot no.308, Scheme No.1, Arya Nagar, Alwar. The learned Rent Tribunal found these documents to be relevant for the purpose of deciding the controversy in the matter. The delay was compensated by awarding cost to the petitioner. In any case, the delay is not enormous and is not causing any serious prejudice to the petitioner. I therefore do not find any error in the impugned order passed by the learned Rent Tribunal. The writ petition is dismissed. (MOHAMMAD RAFIQ), J. RS/
