Civil Revision No.7925 of 2011 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Revision No.7925 of 2011 Date of Decision : 21.12.2011 Sheo Chand and others .......Petitioners Versus Raj Kumar and others .......Respondents CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE JITENDRA CHAUHAN Present: Mr. Jatin Hans, Advocate, for the petitioners. **** JITENDRA CHAUHAN, J. (ORAL) The petitioners have approached this Court under Article 227 of the Constitution of India praying for setting aside the order dated 08.12.2011 passed by the learned trial Court, whereby the application filed by the plaintiff-petitioners to produce additional evidence was dismissed. The learned counsel contends that the petitioners being illiterate, did not have the knowledge that the street in question was laid by the Department of Panchayats. The application was for examination of XEN/any other official of the Department of Panchayats. Through the present revision petition, permission has been sought to examine the XEN of the Department of Panchayats to 1 Civil Revision No.7925 of 2011 establish the fact that the street/road was constructed by the Panchayati Raj Department. The factum of construction of the street in question was not in the knowledge of the petitioners while leading the evidence in affirmative. The representative from the Department could not be examined on account of the ignorance or perhaps that they were not so advised by the learned counsel, who represented them. In this view of the matter, the present revision petition is allowed; the impugned order dated 8.12.2011 is set aside and one more effective opportunity is granted to the petitioner to lead the additional evidence by summoning the XEN or any other competent official who can depose on behalf of the Deparment of Panchayati Raj. However, the same shall be subject to the payment of `2,000/- as costs. ( JITENDRA CHAUHAN ) 21.12.2011 JUDGE atulsethi Note: Whether to be referred to reporter ? Yes/No 2
