C.R. No.7087 of 2010 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH C.R. No.7087 of 2010 Date of Decision: 29.10.2010 State of Haryana ....…Petitioner Versus Shri Hira Lal ……Respondent Coram:- HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE L. N. MITTAL. Present: Mr. Narender Singh, DAG, Haryana for the petitioner. L. N. MITTAL, J (ORAL) State of Haryana (Management/respondent before the Industrial Tribunal-cum-Labour Court, Panipat) has invoked the jurisdiction of this Court under Article 227 of the Constitution of India challenging order dated 24.09.2010 passed by learned Industrial Tribunal-cum-Labour Court, Panipat thereby dismissing application of the petitioner herein for additional evidence. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner and perused the case file. Learned counsel for the petitioner prays that only one opportunity may be granted to the petitioner for its evidence at own responsibility on payment of costs. I have carefully considered the aforesaid prayer. Perusal of the impugned order reveals that petitioner herein was granted 7 effective opportunities for its evidence and thereupon petitioner's evidence was closed by Court order and it was thereafter that application for additional evidence was moved. Learned counsel for the petitioner states that petitioner's counsel in the lower Court did C.R. No.7087 of 2010 2 not give information to the petitioner regarding the proceedings of the case or the information that evidence was led by the petitioner. Keeping in view all the circumstances, I am of the considered opinion that ends of justice would be met if one opportunity is granted to the petitioner for its evidence on payment of costs. I intend to dispose of the instant revision petition without issuing notice to respondent-workman so as to avoid further delay in the disposal of the case and also to save the respondent from the expenses which he may have to incur in engaging counsel for the revision petition if notice of revision petition is issued to him. For the reasons aforesaid, the instant revision petition is allowed and Industrial Tribunal-cum-Labour Court, Panipat is directed to grant only one opportunity to the petitioner for its evidence at own responsibility, subject to payment of Rs.5000/- as costs precedent. ( L. N. MITTAL ) JUDGE 29.10.2010. A. Kaundal
