IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH C.R. No. 5662 of 2008 (O & M) Decided On : 20.10.2008 Manmohan Chawla ...Petitioner versus Gurinder Kumar Sehgal ...Respondent CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE K. S. AHLUWALIA Present : Mr. Sudhir Pruthi, Advocate, for the petitioner. K. S. AHLUWALIA, J. (ORAL) Affidavits of witnesses PW-1 Gurinder Kumar Sehgal and PW-2 Arjun Sehgal were tendered on 02.03.2007. An application filed by the petitioner for amendment of the written statement was allowed by the Rent Controller. Thereafter, on 27.04.2008 a prayer was made by the petitioner to file revised statements of PW-1 Gurinder Kumar Sehgal and PW-2 Arjun Sehgal, after the amendment of the written reply. The learned trial Court, after taking into consideration various submissions made, came to the conclusion that petitioner can file additional affidavit qua that facts which emerged in the amended written reply and not beyond that. C.R. No. 5662 of 2008 (O & M) -2- Counsel for the tenant-petitioner has stated that such a course adopted by the Rent Controller cannot be appreciated as filing of additional affidavits is beyond the pleadings. This is not the stage to appreciate the effect of additional evidence which is yet to be submitted by the parties. The discretion has been exercised by the Rent Controller by passing the order for advancement of trial pending before Rent Controller. The order being interlocutory, is not amenable to revisional jurisdiction. Hence, there is no merit in the present application. The same is accordingly dismissed. OCTOBER 20, 2008 (K. S.
