C.R. No. 1484 of 2010 -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH C.R. No. 1484 of 2010 (O&M) Date of decision : 5.3.2010 ... Sahid ................Petitioner vs. Sakir and others .................Respondents Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice K.C. Puri Present: Sh. Ashok Tyagi, Advocate for the petitioner ... K.C. Puri, J. (Oral) This is a revision petition under Article 227 of the Constitution of India for setting aside the impugned order dated 1.2.2010 (Annexure P-1) passed by Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Gurgaon, vide which the evidence of the petitioner was closed by order by holding that since three opportunities have been availed, as such the petitioner is not entitled to another opportunity. In view of the facts of the case, notice need not to be issued to the respondents. The Tribunal has taken a hyper-technical view in closing the evidence of the claimant. The Motor Vehicle Act is a welfare legislation and the claimant-petitioner is the victim of a road accident. C.R. No. 1484 of 2010 -2- The claimant wants to examine Dr. Joginder and wants to appear as his own witness. It is well known that presence of a doctor cannot be procured by an ordinary person and assistance of the Court is required for that purpose. The Tribunal has ignored all these facts. In view of the above, the impugned order dated 1.2.2010 stands set aside and the claimant- petitioner is allowed to examine the said doctor and to appear as his own witness. Dasti summons be taken by the claimant-petitioner before the trial Court. The petition stands disposed of. ( K.C. Puri ) 5.3.2010 Judge chugh
