IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. C.R. No. 4822 of 2009. [O&M] Date of Decision: 31st August, 2009. M/s Bansal Studio Petitioner through Mr. Adarsh Jain, Advocate Versus Arya Samaj Mandir Respondent through None. 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? SURYA KANT, J. [ORAL) This Revision Petition is directed against the order dated 3.8.2009 passed by the Rent Controller, Faridabad whereby application of the petitioner-tenant for summoning the landlord's witness for cross-examination, has been dismissed. It appears that when Subhash Chand [PW], through whom the respondent – landlord has filed an eviction petition, appeared as a witness, he could not be cross-examined as the counsel for the petitioner – tenant was busy in some other Court. The Rent Controller, after observing that sufficient opportunity has already been granted to the petitioner to cross-examine the said witness, declined further adjournment for that purpose vide order dated 9.3.2009. The petitioner – tenant moved an application to recall that order and further requested to give an opportunity to cross-examine the landlord's witness but that has also been declined vide the impugned order, dated 3.8.2009 giving rise to this revision petition. Notice of motion was issued but the representative of the respondent-landlord has refused to accept the notice. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner, it appears that there was no intentional lapse on the part of the counsel for the petitioner and he could not cross-examine the witness having been held-up before another Court. Taking into consideration the totality of the circumstances, I am of the considered view that one more opportunity can be granted to the petitioner in the interest of justice to cross-examine the landlord's witness, though subject to payment of certain costs. Consequently, the revision petition is allowed, the impugned order dated 3.8.2009 is set aside and the Rent Controller, Faridabad is directed to give one more and last opportunity to the petitioner – tenant to cross-examine the landlord's witness by summoning him for the said purpose, however, subject to payment of Rs.3000/- as costs to the respondent – landlord. Ordered accordingly. Dasti. August 31, 2009. ( SURYA KANT ) dinesh JUDGE
