IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH C.R.No.4910 of 2009 Date of Decision : 22.9.2010 Shyam Lal ....Petitioner Versus Sh.Karan Singh alias Karan Amol Singh and another ...Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE MAHESH GROVER .... Present : Dr.P.K.Aryan, Advocate for the petitioner. None for the respondents. ..... MAHESH GROVER, J. After hearing the learned counsel for the petitioner, I am of the opinion that there is no legal infirmity in the impugned order. The petitioner has defaulted twice over in the proceedings in appeal pending before the Addl.District Judge, Yamunanagar at Jagadhari. The proceedings from which the appeal emanated pertain to a suit of the year 1992. There is no cogent explanation for the default which has been committed by the petitioner and, therefore, the impugned order cannot be termed to be unjustified in the given set of circumstances. However, keeping in view purely the interest of justice, the petitioner is granted one opportunity to argue his appeal on merits, subject to payment of Rs.10,000/- as costs. In this eventuality the impugned order shall stand set aside. C.R.No.4910 of 2009 -2- Petition stands disposed of. 22.9.2010 (MAHESH GROVER) JUDGE dss
