Civil Revision No.4912 of 2011(O&M) -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Civil Revision No.4912 of 2011(O&M) Date of Decision: August 17, 2011 Suresh Kumar .....Petitioner v. Rajinder Kumar and others .....Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE RAM CHAND GUPTA Present: Mr.R.K.Rana, Advocate for the petitioner. ..... RAM CHAND GUPTA, J.(Oral) The present revision petition has been filed under Article 227 of the Constitution of India for setting aside/quashing of order dated 27.7.2011 passed by learned Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Ambala, (hereinafter to be referred as the `Tribunal') vide which evidence of petitioner-claimant was closed by learned Tribunal. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner and have gone through the whole record carefully including the impugned order passed by learned Tribunal. Facts relevant for the decision of present revision petition are that a petition for compensation under Section 166 of the Motor Vehicle Act, 1988, was filed by present petitioner-claimant against respondents being driver, owner and insurer of the offending vehicle involved in the accident. Case was fixed for evidence of the petitioner, after framing of issues by learned Tribunal, for 11.4.2011, thereafter fixed for 28.4.2011 and then for 27.5.2011. An application for summoning of three official Civil Revision No.4912 of 2011(O&M) -2- witnesses, i.e., one Ahlmad from the Court of CJM, Ambala and two Medical Officers with record was also filed on behalf of the petitioner- claimant. Though the application was filed late by petitioner-claimant, however, taking into consideration the fact that very short adjournments were given by learned Tribunal for evidence, the same should have been allowed. The witnesses are essential for the decision of present petition. Hence, in view of these facts, the present revision petition is accepted. Impugned order is set aside. Learned Tribunal is directed to grant one opportunity to the petitioner-claimant to examine these witnesses at his own responsibility by taking dasti summons. 17.8.2011 (Ram Chand Gupta) meenu Judge
