JUSTICE A.N.JINDAL Present: Mr.Kulwant Singh Dhanora, Advocate, for the petitioner. ***** A.N.JINDAL, J(ORAL): This revision petition preferred by the petitioner-defendant (herein referred as 'the petitioner') is directed against the order dated 30.05.2009, passed by learned Addl. Civil Judge (Senior Division), Malerkotla whereby in the application of the petitioner for setting aside the exparte proceedings order and exparte judgment and decree, the evidence of the petitioner was closed by order. It has been submitted that since he is living abroad, therefore, he could not lead evidence at the appropriate time. Only one opportunity may be provided to lead the evidence. In view of the matter and in order to impart complete justice to the parties, the petitioner is allowed further three months time to conclude his evidence, subject to payment of Rs.5,000/- as costs. However, he will complete the evidence within three months from the date fixed for evidence i.e. 18.07.2009. This petition is disposed of without issuing notice to the respondent with a view to imparting complete justice to the parties and to save huge expenses which may be occurred by the respondents as also in order to avoid unnecessary delay in adjudication of the matter. If, still dissatisfied, the respondent may move this Court for recalling this order. (A.N.Jindal) Judge 14 .07.2009 mamta-II
