On 02.09.2009, the said two witnesses did not appear as such bailable warrants against them were issued for 30.09.2009.

After going through the interim orders, it is apparent that the claimant himself had been negligent in taking steps to serve and produce his witnesses. The impugned order dated 30.09.2009, does not suffer from any legal infirmity but, in the interest of justice, to give a fair opportunity to the petitioner to produce his evidence, the impugned order dated 30.09.2009, is hereby set aside in limine with a direction that the petitioner will be given opportunity to produce two witnesses Dr.Lalji Kant and Bill Clerk of Batra Hospital, New Delhi, subject to payment of costs of Rs.2,000/-. The petitioner will be given two opportunities to produce the said two witnesses within a period of one month. It is made clear that in case the petitioner does not offer the cost on next date of hearing, the present revision petition will be deemed to have been dismissed. A copy of order be communicated to the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Gurgaon, through FAX. Assistance of the Court, if required to produce the said witnesses, will be rendered on deposit of requisite fee. Disposed of. (M.M.S.BEDI) JUDGE December 04, 2009. rka . . . 2
