Present: Mr. Yogesh Goel, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. S.K. Bansal, Advocate, for the respondent. Alok Singh, J. (Oral) C.R. No. 1108 of 2010 Present petition is filed challenging the order dated 05.02.2010 passed by the learned Presiding Officer, Labour Court, Ambala, whereby the evidence of the petitioner – defendant was ordered to be closed and application moved by the petitioner – defendant to lead secondary evidence was also dismissed. Learned counsel for the petitioner stated that entire evidence shall be produced by the petitioner – defendant on such date as may be fixed by the learned Trial Court. He further states that the learned Trial Court should decide the application for leading the secondary evidence before the date fixed for production of the evidence by the defendant – petitioner. Learned counsel for the respondent stated that defendant – petitioner has not approached this Court with clean hands and his object is just to cause delay in disposal of the matter. Learned counsel for the respondent further states that last opportunity can be granted to the petitioner subject to heavy costs. Keeping in mind, the golden rule that none should be given walk over and lis between the parties, as far as possible, should be decided on merit after giving reasonable opportunities to both the parties to place on record entire evidence/material, I direct that learned Trial Court shall fix any date for the purpose of production of the evidence by the 2 C.R. No. 1108 of 2010 petitioner – defendant. On the date so fixed, the petitioner shall produce entire evidence. If for any reason, examination is not concluded on the date so fixed, then Court shall be at liberty to hold day-to-day trial or fix any such future date, which is convenient to the Court. However, it is made clear that no adjournment shall be granted to either of the parties. Both the learned counsel informed that 24.09.2010 is the date already fixed before the learned Trial Court. On 24.09.2010, learned Trial Court shall decide the application moved by the defendant – petitioner for seeking permission to lead secondary evidence and thereafter, shall fix a date as directed herein above. Defendant – petitioner shall pay Rs. 5000/- as costs to the plaintiff - respondent. Petition shall stand disposed of accordingly. September 21, 2010 ( Alok Singh ) vkd Judge 3
