CR No. 5793 of 2011 :1: In the High Court of Punjab and Haryana, Chandigarh. CR No. 5793 of 2011(O&M) Date of Decision: 03.10.2011 M/s. Chaman Lal Des Raj ....Petitioner Versus Nazam Singh ....Respondent. Coram:- Hon'ble Mr. Justice Ajay Kumar Mittal Present: Mr. Rajesh Narang, Advocate for the petitioner. ... Ajay Kumar Mittal, J. The plaintiff – petitioner aggrieved by the order dated 23.8.2011 passed by the trial Court, dismissing the application for leading additional evidence, has approached this Court under Article 227 of the Constitution of India, for setting aside the same. 2. The plaintiff – petitioner filed a suit for recovery of Rs.2,52,000/- against the respondent – defendant on the basis of account books. The plaintiff – petitioner having concluded the evidence, the defendant – respondent also led his evidence. 3. An application was filed for producing additional evidence by the plaintiff – petitioner, wherein the plaintiff – petitioner sought permission of the Court to produce licence obtained from the Market Committee as well as VAT from the Sales Tax Department. In addition thereto, Forms 'A' and CR No. 5793 of 2011 :2: 'C' were also sought to be produced. 4. The trial Court rejected the application with the observations that the issues were struck on 4.10.2006, and thereafter, the plaintiff availed 11 effective opportunities before it had closed its evidence. Further, the plaintiff had not given single reason for not producing the documents at the time of leading its evidence and the application was not bonafide. 5. On a query being put to the learned counsel as to how additional evidence, which was sought to be produced was not previously known or could not be produced despite due diligence at the time the plaintiff was leading the evidence, he was unable to give any satisfactory reply. Further, learned counsel was unable to pin point any error of jurisdiction, which may warrant interference by this Court. 6. Finding no merit in this petition, the same is dismissed.
