While passing the impugned order, the Rent Controller has observed that the petitioner has already been granted sufficient opportunities to lead evidence and there was no justification to adjourn the case further. However, it could not be disputed before this Court that the case is still at the evidence stage. Thus, no prejudice is going to be caused to the respondent. It is well settled that the provisions of CPC are handmaid for administration of justice. Moreover, the respondent can be compensated with suitable cost. Counsel for the petitioner stated that in case an opportunity is granted, petitioner shall complete his entire evidence in that opportunity at his own risk and responsibility.
