(Oral) This revision petition is directed against the order dated 6.12.2007 passed by the Rent Controller, Patiala, whereby the petitioners' evidence was closed, as well as against the order dated 9.11.2009, whereby an application moved by the petitioner-tenants on 11.12.2007 to recall the order dated 6.12.2007, has been dismissed by the Rent Controller, Patiala. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that given one opportunity, the petitioners are ready to tender their affidavit in evidence. The case is stated to be listed for hearing before the Rent Controller, Patiala, on 22.12.2009. C.R. No.7600 of 2009 (O&M) 2 Ordinarily, this Court would have issued notice to the respondent-landlord, however, in the given circumstances, if notice is issued, it would unnecessarily delay the eviction proceedings. Consequently, in the interest of justice, the revision petition is allowed in part; the impugned orders dated 6.12.2007 and 9.11.2009 are modified and the petitioners are permitted to file an affidavit in examination-in-chief on the date fixed i.e.,22.12.2009, before the Rent Controller, Patiala, without any further opportunity or adjournment, subject to payment of cost of Rs.3000/- to the respondent-landlord. Let a copy of this order, duly attested by the Bench Secretary, be handed over to the counsel for the petitioners during the course of day. 21-12-2009 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
