Sumitra Devi and others ...Respondents. CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AJAY KUMAR MITTAL. PRESENT: Mr. Diwan S. Adlakha, Advocate for the petitioner. AJAY KUMAR MITTAL, J. C.M. No. 25436-CII of 2009 Allowed as prayed for. C.R. No. 6257 of 2009 In this revision petition filed under Article 227 of the Constitution of India, challenge is to the order dated 12.10.2009 (Annexure P-1) passed by the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Yamuna Nagar at Jagadhri, whereby the evidence of the claimant-petitioner has been closed by the order of the Court. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that in the interest of justice, one opportunity may be granted to the petitioner to lead his entire evidence and the respondents can be compensated by way of costs. He further submits that the petitioner will conclude his entire evidence at his own risk and responsibility on the date to be fixed by the trial court. C.R. No. 6257 of 2009 -2- Ordinarily, I would have issued notice of motion to the respondents but as the issuance of notice would prolong the case and entail unnecessary expenses to them, the present petition is being disposed of without resorting to that course. After hearing learned counsel for the petitioner and in the facts and circumstances of the present case, this Court is satisfied that in the interest of justice the petitioner deserves to be granted one opportunity to conclude his entire evidence. Accordingly, the revision petition is disposed of with a direction that the petitioner shall be granted one opportunity to lead his entire evidence on the date to be fixed by the trial court at his own risk and responsibility and subject to payment of Rs.2,000/- to the respondents as costs. It is, however, made clear that in case the petitioner fails to conclude his entire evidence on the date to be fixed by the trial court or to pay the costs, as stipulated above, this revision petition shall be deemed to have been dismissed.
