IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Revision No.4824 of 2011 Date of decision: 11th August, 2011 Mohender Pal … Petitioner Versus Mohan and others … Respondents CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA Present: Mr. Manoj Kumar Sood, Advocate for the petitioner. KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA, J. (ORAL) Present revision petition has been filed to assail the order (Annexure P-3) dated 25th May, 2011 whereby the Additional Civil Judge (Senior Division), Faridabad had declined the application for leading additional evidence filed by the petitioner-plaintiff to the suit. It was projected by the petitioner-plaintiff that Mohan respondent No.1- defendant to the suit was his uncle and a Vaishnav Brahmin, whereas in the written statement a definite stand was taken by respondent No.1- defendant that he is son of Raghbir. Furthermore, in the written statement and in the cross-examination he stated that he is not a Vaishnav Brahmin but a Gujjar by caste. When the case was fixed for plaintiff’s rebuttal evidence, it dawned upon the petitioner-plaintiff that he had failed to prove the caste of respondent No.1-defendant. Now to prove this fact by way of additional evidence, the petitioner-plaintiff intended to prove a few Patrikas published by some organization to say Civil Revision No.4824 of 2011 that from a perusal of those Patrikas it will be evident that respondent No.1-defendant is a Vaishnav Brahmin. It is too late in the day to rely upon the Patrikas, especially when in the written statement respondent No.1-defendant had categorically denied that he is a Vaishnav Brahmin and related to the petitioner-plaintiff. Furthermore, the sanctity of those Patrikas is also under challenge. Thus, the Court below has rightly held that application for additional evidence has been filed to delay culmination of the proceedings and furthermore, the plaintiff was not diligent enough to prove the documents when the plaintiff’s evidence was going on. Hence, no interference is warranted in the present revision petition and the same is dismissed. [KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA] JUDGE August 11, 2011 rps 2
