Whether Reporters of Local papers 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? --- ORDER Surya Kant, J. (Oral) This order shall dispose of Civil Revision Nos.5003 of 2009 and 5015 of 2009, as common questions of law and facts are involved in both these revision petitions. For brevity, the facts are being taken from Civil Revision No.5003 of 2009. In both the cases, petitioners are the tenants of the same respondent-landlord and are aggrieved at the orders dated 12.8.2009 passed by the Rent Controller, Ambala Cantt, closing their evidence. The eviction petitions are now listed for hearing on 4.9.2009 before the Rent Controller, Ambala Cantt. C.R. No.5003 of 2009 (O&M) 2 Ordinarily, this Court would have called upon the respondent- landlord before granting one more opportunity to the petitioners, in the interest of justice, however, it would unnecessarily prolong the proceedings and cause avoidable prejudice to the respondent-landlord. The petitioners undertake that given one opportunity, they will produce the remaining evidence at their own responsibility on the date fixed. Keeping in view the above stated undertaking, these revision petition are allowed in part; the impugned order dated 12.8.2009 is set- aside and the Rent Controller, Ambala Cantt is directed to record the statements of remaining witnesses of the petitioners, provided they are produced at their own responsibility on 4.9.2009. The petitioners shall be granted the aforestated opportunity subject to payment of costs of Rs.2500/- each, in both the cases to the respondent-landlord. Let a copy of this order, duly attested by the Bench Secretary, be supplied to counsel for the petitioners subject to depositing of requisite charges for Dasti copy. 02-09-2009 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
