IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Revision No. 4456 of 2007 Date of Decision: March 26, 2009 Karnal Improvement Trust, Karnal … Petitioner Versus Mehtab Singh @ Mohbat Singh and others. … Respondents CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE S.D. ANAND. Present : Mr. C.B. Goel, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. Vinod S. Bhardwaj, Advocate, for respondent Nos. 1,2 to 8, 10 to 12 and 17 to 20. S.D. Anand, J. In a bid to assail the validity of the impugned order (vide which the learned Trial Court directed the defendant – petitioner to respond to the interrogatories filed by the plaintiffs – respondents), the learned counsel argues that there are a number of questions which have no relateability to the pleadings of the parties and by including which the plaintiffs – respondents had only sought to obtain evidence of affirmative character from the defendant – petitioner which (adducing of evidence of affirmative C.R. No. 4456 of 2007 character) was otherwise the responsibility of the plaintiffs – respondents themselves. The Interrogatory consists of as many as 29 items. Prima facie item Nos. 27 to 29 would not appear to be fit subjects of interrogatories. The petition is disposed of with a direction to the learned Trial Court to dispose of the relevant plea afresh by recording a self-contained order which must relate each item of interrogatories to pleadings and the impugned order must pointedly indicate that fact. The parties are directed, through their learned counsel, to appear before the learned Trial Court on 02.04.2009. Disposed of accordingly. March 26, 2009 ( S.D. Anand ) vkd Judge 2
