CR No. 6494 of 2008(O&M) 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CR No. 6494 of 2008(O&M) Decided on : 18-12-2008 Pritam Singh and another ....Petitioners VERSUS Jagdish Rai ....Respondent CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE MAHESH GROVER Present:- Mr. A.K.Khunger, Advocate for the petitioners. MAHESH GROVER, J C.M .25782-CII of 2008 CM allowed. Copy of the order is taken on record. CR No. 6494 of 2008 This revision petition is directed against the order dated 2.5.2008 by which the evidence of the petitioner was closed. A perusal of the impugned order shows that despite several opportunities being granted to the petitioner, he failed to conclude his evidence. Learned counsel for the petitioner has contended that if one opportunity is granted, he will complete his entire evidence. After hearing learned counsel for the petitioner and on perusing the order, I am of the considered opinion that the present petition can be disposed of at this stage without issuance of notice of motion as resorting to this process is likely to delay the proceedings further and equitable justice can be ensured by compensating the other side with costs. There is no CR No. 6494 of 2008(O&M) 2 infirmity in the impugned order however, purely in the interest of justice, one effective opportunity is granted to the petitioner to conclude his entire evidence. Accordingly, the revision petition is accepted and the impugned order is set aside however, subject to payment of Rs.5,000/- as costs. The Trial Court shall grant one effective opportunity to the petitioner to conclude his entire evidence. December 18 , 2008 (Mahesh Grover) rekha Judge
