Civil Revision No.2361 of 2009 [ 1 ] IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH ... Civil Revision No.2361 of 2009 Decided on : April 29, 2009 Siri Ram ... Petitioner VERSUS Balkar Singh ... Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE A.N.JINDAL Present: Mr.Surinder Pal Singh Tinna, Advocate for the petitioner. A.N.JINDAL, J.- Heard. This petition is against the order dated 16.4.2009 refusing the defendant – petitioner to file the written statement as having been sought to file after two years. The plea set up by the defendant – petitioner is that the plaintiff – respondent had given him an impression that he will withdraw the suit, but later on, he did not do so. No doubt, the written statement has been sought to be filed by the defendant – petitioner after quite a long time, yet the interest of justice requires to adjudicate the lis inter-se the parties on merits, after hearing both the sides. Civil Revision No.2361 of 2009 [ 2 ] Thus, the present revision is allowed and it is directed that the defendant – petitioner shall file the written statement on next date of hearing, which shall be taken on record, subject to payment of Rs.5,000/- as costs. This petition is disposed of without issuing notice to the respondent with a view to imparting complete justice to the parties and to save the huge expenses, which may be incurred by the respondent as also in order to avoid unnecessary delay in adjudication of the matter. Still, if satisfied, the respondent may move this court for recalling this order. April 29, 2009 ( A.N.JINDAL ) `gian' JUDGE
