IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. C.R.No.2893 of 2010 Date of Decision : 4.5.2010 Gurdial Singh ....Petitioner Versus Jangsher Singh ...Respondent CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE MAHESH GROVER .... Present : Mr. Robin Dutt, Advocate for the petitioner. ..... MAHESH GROVER, J. Learned counsel for the petitioner states that if only one opportunity is granted to him he shall adduce his entire evidence. After hearing the learned counsel for the petitioner, I am of the opinion that this petition can be disposed of at this stage without issuance of notice of motion to the other side as resorting to this process is likely to take more time and more so when equitable justice can be ensured by compensating the other side with costs. A perusal of the impugned order shows that there is no infirmity therein. The petitioner was given 5 opportunities to lead his evidence which he failed to utilise. The suit is of the year 2005 and therefore the learned trial Court was justified in closing the evidence of the petitioner. But keeping in view the interest of justice only one effective opportunity can be granted to the petitioner to adduce his entire evidence. C.R.No.2893 of 2010 -2- The petition is, therefore, disposed of with a direction to the learned trial Court to afford one effective opportunity to the petitioner to lead his entire evidence. The impugned order is set aside subject to payment of Rs.5,000/- as costs. 4.5.2010 (MAHESH GROVER) JUDGE dss
