CR No.6396/2011(O&M) 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CR No.6396/2011(O&M) Date of decision: 01.12.2011. Smt. Razia & Ors ....................Petitioners v. Siri Chand and another .....................Respondents Coram: Hon'ble Mr.Justice Jaswant Singh Present: Mr. Satish Chaudhary, Advocate for the petitioners. Jaswant Singh.J.(Oral) C.M. No.28622-CII of 2011 allowed and zimni orders are taken on record. C.R. No.6396 of 2011 Defendants /petitioners have in the present revision petition under Article 227 of the Constitution assailed the order dated 14.09.2011 (P1) whereby their defence was struck off and the case was listed for arguments. It is apparent that respondents/plaintiffs filed suit for permanent injunction against the petitioners in November 2009. On the pleadings of the parties issues were framed on 25.05.2010 and the case was listed for plaintiffs evidence. The plaintiffs availed six CR No.6396/2011(O&M) 2 opportunities and closed their evidence on 22.03.2011. Thereafter case was fixed for evidence of the defendants/petitioners. Before passing the impugned order dated 14.09.2011, whereby the defence of the petitioners/defendants was struck off, as many as eight opportunities had already been availed by the petitioners/defendants and the case was listed for 14.09.2011 subject to payment of costs of Rs.200/-. On 14.09.2011 neither the costs were paid nor any DW was present. In these circumstances the learned trial Court passed the impugned order. In this view of the matter in my considered opinion the petitioners despite grant of sufficient opportunities have failed to conclude their evidence and were thus grossly negligent in defending their case. The conduct of the petitioners does not call for any indulgence by this Court under Article 227 of the Constitution. Dismissed. 01.12.2011 (Jaswant Singh) joshi Judge
