IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Revision No.5729 of 2009 (O&M) Date of Decision : 06.10.2009 Baljit Kumar Talwar .....Petitioner versus Gokal Chand .....Respondent CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.Hari Om Sharma, Advocate, for the petitioner. -.- 1. Whether Reporters of Local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? --- ORDER Surya Kant, J. (Oral) This revision petition is directed against the order dated 8.9.2009 passed by the Rent Controller, Yamuna Nagar at Jagadhri, dismissing the application moved by the petitioner-tenant for amendment of the written statement, when the case is ripe for final arguments. The petitioner seeks the amendment so as to raise a preliminary objection in the written statement, denying the relationship of landlord and tenant. It is claimed that the evidence has already been led to that effect. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner, I do not find any ground to interfere with the impugned order at this stage. The C.R. No.5729 of 2009 (O&M) 2 amendment sought by the petitioner at this belated stage of the proceedings would defeat the well recognized object of speedy disposal. The plea sought to be raised is apparently meant to delay the proceedings. However, the evidence, if any, led by the petitioner would be considered by the Rent Controller in accordance with law. With these observations, the revision petition is dismissed. 06-10-2009 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
