C.R. No. 4451 of 2010 (O&M) -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH C.R. No. 4451 of 2010 (O&M) Date of decision: 20.07.2010 Kanwal Gurleen Singh .....Petitioner Versus Karamjit Kaur alias Manni and others ....Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE VINOD K.SHARMA Present:- Mr. N.S. Sodhi, Advocate, for the petitioner. VINOD K.SHARMA, J. (ORAL) This revision petition is directed against the order dated 18.5.2010, passed by the learned Additional Civil Judge (Senior Division), Zira, vide which the evidence of the petitioner has been ordered to be closed by passing the following order: - “No evidence of behalf of plaintiff is present perusal of the file shows that issues in this case were framed on 12.12.2007 and since then the plaintiff despite availing number of opportunities has failed to conclude his entire evidence and on 12/1/2010, counsel for the plaintiff has also undertook to produce the PW's at own responsibility but the plaintiff has failed to examine even a single witness. No cogent/plausible basis has been made by LD counsel for plaintiff for not concluding the evidence on his behalf. Despite having large number of opportunities the plaintiff has not completed his evidence so in these circumstances there seems to be no justification for further adjourning the case for this purpose and evidence of the plaintiff is closed by order.” Learned counsel for the petitioner does not contest the case on C.R. No. 4451 of 2010 (O&M) -2- merits and prays that in the interest of justice, the petitioner be granted one last opportunity to conclude his entire evidence, subject to payment of costs. In view of the stand taken by the learned counsel for the petitioner, this Court feels that it would be in the interest of justice if the petitioner is granted one last opportunity to conclude his entire evidence at his own risk and responsibility on the date to be fixed by the learned trial Court. “Ordered accordingly.” However, this shall be subject to payment of Rs.5,000/- (Rupees five thousand only) as costs. Revision disposed off. (Vinod K. Sharma) Judge July 20, 2010 R.S.
