Civil Revision No. 2751 of 2008 -1- **** IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Revision No. 2751 of 2008 Date of decision: 28.04.2009. Renu Rawal Petitioner Versus Sunil Sardana ...Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE S.D.ANAND. Present: Ms. Sonal Dutta, Advocate for the petitioner. None for the respondent ***** S.D.ANAND, J. It is apparent from the record that, in the suit filed by the respondent herein ( and the plaintiff therein) the petitioner herein had been allowed by the learned Trial Court to be represented by her brother on account of her mental condition. The petitioner filed an application for her examination by the Head of the Psychiatric Department of Safdarjang Hospital, New Delhi. The petitioner is herself indicated to be based at New Delhi. No reply to the application was filed by the respondent (plaintiff-non-applicant therein). However, it was verbally averred on behalf of the plaintiff-non-applicant therein that instead of getting the defendant therein (and petitioner herein) examined from Safdarjang Civil Revision No. 2751 of 2008 -2- **** Hospital, New Delhi (which was her choice), she may be got examined by either a Board constituted by Director, AIIMS, New Delhi or by the Director, PGIMS, Rohtak. At that point of time, the petitioner had reservations about her examination by the Board constituted by the Director, AIIMS, New Delhi. In the light thereof, the learned Trial Court directed the Director, PGIMS, Rohtak to constitute a Board of Psychiatrists to conduct the medical(mental) examination of the petitioner herein. The petitioner is in revision against that order passed by the learned Trial Court. I have heard Ms. Sonal Dutta, learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner and have carefully gone through the file. None entered appearance on behalf of the respondent to assist this Court. Though the learned counsel, appearing on behalf of the petitioner was not in a position to deny that petitioner did not initially agree to her examination at the AIIMS, it was presently argued that she shall have no objection to her examination in the context by the Board of Psychiatrists constituted by the Director, AIIMS, New Delhi. In that context, it was pointed out that the petitioner is a single lady and it would be practically not possible for her to repeatedly go all alone to the Rohtak, particularly in the light of her mental condition. In the circumstances of the case, the petition shall stand allowed. The impugned order is modified to the extent that the Civil Revision No. 2751 of 2008 -3- **** petitioner shall be examined in the context of her mental condition by a Board of Psychiatrists to be constituted by the Director, AIIMS, New Delhi. A copy of the order shall be handed over to the parties for presentation before the Director, AIIMS on any working day. The exercise shall be completed by the Board within two weeks from the date a copy of the order is presented before the Director, AIIMS, New Delhi. April 28, 2009 (S.D.Anand) Pka Judge
