JUSTICE KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA Present: Mr. Berjeshwar S. Jaswal, Advocate for the petitioner. KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA, J. (ORAL) In the present revision petition, a prayer has been made that order dated 8th June, 2011 (Annexure P-3) be set aside, vide which evidence of the plaintiff was closed. I have perused the impugned order (Annexure P-3). The trial Court, considering the fact that numerous opportunities were availed but plaintiff’s evidence was not being concluded, had by its order closed the evidence of the plaintiff. Counsel for the petitioner states that only one witness namely Manjit Kaur is to be examined. He further states that this witness has already furnished her affidavit in examination in-chief and only her cross-examination is to be carried. Counsel submits that in case one opportunity is granted, Manjit Kaur will be present in the Court at the risk and responsibility of the plaintiff. It is stated that next date of hearing fixed before the trial Court is 14th September, 2011 and that till today, defendant’s evidence has not commenced. Civil Revision No.5556 of 2011 (O&M) For the reasons stated in this petition and to ensure fair play and balance of equities, this Court is of the view that one opportunity is to be granted to the plaintiff to conclude his evidence. Therefore, on the undertaking that the plaintiff, at his own risk and responsibility, shall produce Manjit Kaur in the Court on 14th September, 2011, the trial Court is directed to conclude cross-examination of Manjit Kaur on that day, subject to payment of cost of Rs.3,000/-. With the observations made above, present petition is disposed of. [KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA] JUDGE September 13, 2011 rps 2
