Civil Revision No.2496 of 2009 [ 1 ] IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH ... Civil Revision No.2496 of 2009 Decided on : May 04, 2009 Nathi Ram ... Petitioner VERSUS Kartari Devi ... Respondent CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE A.N.JINDAL Present: Mr.Vimal Kumar Gupta, Advocate for the petitioner. A.N.JINDAL, J.- Heard. Counsel for the petitioner has submitted that since Mr.Karam Singh, Advocate, representing the petitioner before the Trial Court noted a wrong date in the case, therefore, the written statement could not be filed. He has further urged that it is a settled principle of law that the party should not be allowed to suffer on account of the fault of his counsel. Finding merit in the submission made on behalf of the petitioner and also for proper adjudication of the matter, this petition is allowed and the Trial Court is directed to accept the written statement filed on or before 11.8.2009, i.e. the next date fixed before it, subject to Civil Revision No.2496 of 2009 [ 2 ] payment of Rs.5,000/- as costs, to be paid by Mr.Karam Singh, Advocate from his own pocket, who is also warned to be careful in future. This petition is disposed of without issuing notice to the respondent with a view to impart 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 dissatisfied, the respondent may move this court for recalling this order. May 04, 2009 ( A.N.JINDAL ) `gian' JUDGE
