JUSTICE JASWANT SINGH Present: Mr. Veneet Sharma, Advocate for the petitioner. JASWANT SINGH,J(ORAL) Present revision petition has been filed by the petitioner- defendant under Article 227 of the Constitution of India for setting aside order dated 21.11.2008 passed by Additional Civil Judge(Sr.Division), Ajnala whereby his evidence has been closed by order. Contesting respondents No.1 to 4-Amrik Masih and others filed a suit for permanent injunction with regard to land measuring 30 kanals, 12 marlas situated in Village Malakpur, Tehsl Ajnala, District Amritsar against the petitioner-defendant and other proforma respondents on the ground that the suit land had been allotted to their father/grand-father and they were continuing in possession. On the basis of pleadings, issues were framed by the learned trial Court and respondents-plaintiffs closed their evidence on 11.5.2007. Thereafter, the petitioner-defendant has examined 3 DWs. Learned Additional Civil Judge(Sr. Division), Ajnala vide order dated 21.11.2008 closed the evidence of the petitioner-defendant as his evidence was not concluded despite availing sufficient opportunities. Learned counsel for the petitioner-defendant prays for one last opportunity for placing on record only certified copies of jamabandi for the C.R.No.459 of 2009 #2# year 2004-2005 and the khasra girdawaris from Sauni 2005 to Sauni 2008 with regard to the land in question. He submits that no other evidence has to be led. He further submits that the copies of the aforesaid revenue record had been given to the counsel for the petitioner, however, due to inadvertence of the petitioner's counsel, these were not placed on record. After hearing learned counsel for the petitioner and in view of the facts of this case, this Court deems it just and expedient in the interest of justice to grant one last opportunity to the petitioner to place on record the certified copies of the aforesaid revenue record, which are per se admissible, as it will help in effective adjudication of the case and no prejudice shall be caused to the respondents-plaintiffs. In view of the above, this petition is allowed and order dated 21.11.2008 passed by Additional Civil Judge(Sr.Division), Ajnala is set aside. Learned trial Court is directed to give one last opportunity to the petitioner to place on record certified copies of the aforesaid revenue record only subject to payment of Rs.3000/- as costs to be paid to the respondents- plaintiffs on or before the next date i.e 20.2.2009 fixed before it. This order is passed without issuing notice to the opposite party as it would entail unnecessary delay in the matter and expenses for the contesting respondents No.1 to 4, who are otherwise being compensated by way of costs.
