Civil Revision No.600 of 2009 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Revision No.600 of 2009 Date of Decision:03.02.2009 Avtar Singh & ors. ....petitioners Versus Tarlok Singh & anr. .....respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE RAKESH KUMAR GARG Present: Mr.Onkar Singh,Advocate for the petitioners **** RAKESH KUMAR GARG J. This revision petition has been filed by the plaintiffs challenging the order dated 06.01.2009 passed by the Civil Judge (Sr.Divn.), Gurdaspur, whereby evidence of the petitioner has been closed by order. While passing the impugned order the trial Court has noticed that despite availing nine effective opportunities the petitioner has failed to adduce his evidence. Undisputedly, the case is at the preliminary stage as the case has been fixed for evidence of the defendants on 12.03.2009. In my view, it will be in the interest of justice if the petitioner is granted one more opportunity to lead his evidence subject to payment of heavy costs which are assessed at Rs.5000/-. The petitioner shall appear on the date fixed before the trial Court and the trial Court will grant him one opportunity to lead his evidence. It is made clear that it will be entirely the responsibility of the petitioner himself to bring his evidence and no further Civil Revision No.600 of 2009 2 opportunity shall be granted to him for any reason. It is also made clear that payment of costs to the respondents shall be the condition precedent for allowing him to avail the opportunity as granted by this Court. Disposed of.
