CR No. 3066 of 2009 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA, CHANDIGARH CR No. 3066 of 2009 Date of decision May 26, 2009 Rajinder Singh ....... Petitioner Versus Gurmail Singh ........Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE K. KANNAN Present:- Mr. Vijay Lath, Advocate for the petitioner. **** 1. Whether reporters of local newspapers 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? K. Kannan, J (oral). 1. The revision is against the order striking off the defence of the defendant in a suit instituted for recovery of money on the basis of promissory note. The rejection was occasioned by the non- compliance of direction of the Court to file the written statement on 13.2.2009 as a last opportunity. Ultimately when the order came to be passed on 13.2.2009, 90 days time had already elapsed and the Court found no justification for accommodating the prayer for further time for filing the written statement. 2. Learned counsel for the petitioner states that the statement is ready and it could not be filed on account of the fact that certain documents which were necessary for filing the written statement were not available. 3. To give adequate opportunity and to render full justice to the parties, the order passed by the Court below is set aside and CR No. 3066 of 2009 2 the defendant is permitted to file the written statement on payment of costs of Rs.2500/- to the plaintiff on or before 15.6.2009 failing which the order passed already by the Court below shall stand confirmed. 4. The Civil revision is disposed of accordingly. (K. KANNAN) JUDGE May 26, 2009 archana
