IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH C.R. No.1937 of 2008 (O&M) Date of Decision:- 04.04.2008 Rajinder Kaur ....Petitioner(s) through Mr.Karminder Singh, Advocate vs. Shander Singh and others ....Respondent(s) *** CORAM:-HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. *** 1) Whether Reporters of the local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2) To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3) Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? *** SURYA KANT, J. (ORAL) This revision petition is directed against the order dated 24.7.2007 passed by the learned Civil Judge (Sr.Division), Chandigarh whereby the petitioner-defendant's evidence has been closed. As is mentioned in the impugned order and not disputed by learned counsel for the petitioner, the petitioner failed to lead her evidence despite ten opportunities granted to her. In these circumstances, normally, no interference in the impugned order would be called for. Learned counsel for the petitioner, however, has placed on record certain zimni orders to suggest that the civil suit is still pending and if in the interest of justice the petitioner is granted one more opportunity, she will lead her evidence. Since no serious prejudice is likely to be caused to the respondent-plaintiffs, I am not inclined to issue notice of motion. Having regard to all the attending circumstances and in the C.R. No.1937 of 2008 (O&M) -2- interest of justice, the impugned order dated 24.7.2007 is set aside to the extent that the petitioner-defendant is granted one opportunity to lead her entire evidence at her own responsibility and subject to payment of Rs.5,000/- as costs to the respondent-plaintiffs.
