IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CR No.6095/2011(O&M) Date of decision: 17.10.2011. Shingara Singh ....................Petitioner v. Dhanna Singh and another .....................Respondents Coram: Hon'ble Mr.Justice Jaswant Singh Present: Mr.Raman Mohinder Sharma,Advocate for the petitioner. Jaswant Singh.J.(Oral) Plaintiff-petitioner is aggrieved against the order dated 8.9.2011 (P4) passed by learned Civil Judge (Junior Division) Sunam whereby he has been directed to affix ad valorem court fees in a suit for damages, on an application filed by the defendants-respondents under Order 7 Rule 11 CPC. After hearing the learned counsel for the petitioner at length I find no illegality or perversity in the impugned order which may warrant interference by this court. It cannot be disputed that the plaintiff has quantified the amount of damages claimed for the injuries suffered by him to the tune of Rs.8 lacs. He however, has affixed court fee on the amount of Rs.3 lacs by calculating correct valuation of the relief. The learned trial court has passed a detailed order by referring to a judgment of this Court reported as Ranjit Kaur and other v. Punjab State Electricity Board and another, 2007(1) RCR (Civil) 686 to hold that in view of the settled law and the fact that the plaintiff himself had claimed a quantified amount then his tentative valuation for the purpose of relief cannot be accepted and he is required to pay ad valorem court fee on the stated amount of damages. No ground for interference is made out. Dismissed. 17.10.2011 (Jaswant Singh) joshi Judge
