Civil Revision No. 6153 of 2009 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Revision No. 6153 of 2009 Date of Decision: October 26 , 2009 Sukhdev Singh ...... Appellant Versus Manjit Singh ...... Respondent Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Ajay Tewari Present: Mr.Ashok Jindal, Advocate for the appellant. *** Ajay Tewari, J. This revision has been filed against the order dated 1.10.2009 closing the evidence of the petitioner-defendant. Learned counsel has fairly stated that more than two opportunities were granted to the petitioner for leading his evidence and if one more opportunity is granted the petitioner undertakes to conclude his entire evidence at his own responsibility. He further states that the matter is now fixed for 28.10.2009 for arguments. The petitioner undertakes that on any date fixed by the trial court after the said date, he would lead his entire evidence at his own responsibility. He further states that on 28.10.2009 the handwriting expert whom the petitioner wants to examine will take the photographs and thereafter on the next date he would complete his evidence. In my opinion though the petitioner has been granted more than Civil Revision No. 6153 of 2009 2 two opportunities yet it would be in the interest of justice to grant him one more opportunity. Consequently the learned trial court is directed to permit the expert of the petitioner to take the photographs etc. on 28.10.2009 and then to fix a date on which the petitioner would conclude his entire evidence. No further adjournment shall be granted to the petitioner. This would be subject to payment of costs of Rs.10,000/-by way of bank draft in favour of the respondent to be tendered before the learned trial court on 28.10.2009. It is made clear that in the event of any default either to deposit the costs or on the part of the document expert to take the necessary photographs on 28.10.2009, this revision shall be deemed to have been dismissed. With the aforesaid directions, this revision petition is disposed of. (AJAY TEWARI) JUDGE October 26, 2009 sunita
