IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. C.R. No. 3088 of 2011 Date of decision: 10.5.2011 Krishan Lal … Petitioner versus M/s Oswal Traders, Sirsa. … Respondent CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE ARVIND KUMAR Present: Mr. P.K.Ganga, Advocate for the petitioner ... ARVIND KUMAR, J: The present petitioner is the defendant in the suit for recovery titled M/s Oswal Traders through its proprietor Rajinder Jain, v. Krishan Lal. He is aggrieved with order dated 16.4.2011 passed by the Additional Civil Judge(Sr.Division), Dabwali, by dint of which his application seeking direction to the plaintiff to produce account books from 1998 till 2006 of the firm has been dismissed. Heard. The present application had been filed on the date when it was for defendant’s evidence with last opportunity. Plaintiff had already examined himself as PW-3 and examined his father as PW-2 who produced the relevant Bahi-khata entries from P-1 to P-16 . Both the witnesses were cross-examined. No request was made for production of the bahi entries of the said period though it was stated by them that the defendant had dealings with them since 1998. Even no suggestion had been put to the witnesses with regard to the concealment of the account books from 1998 till 2006. It is itself the stand of the defendant that the account had been cleared on 9.6.2006 and the defendant has failed to show any relevance of the previous entries. The very purpose seems to delay the case. The application has been rightly dismissed by the Court below. No interference is called for. The revision petition is accordingly dismissed.
