C.R. No. 4989 of 2010 -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH C.R. No. 4989 of 2010 Date of decision: 10.08.2010 Bachittar Singh .....Petitioner Versus Jaspal Singh and others ....Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE VINOD K.SHARMA Present:- Mr. K.S. Rekhi, Advocate, for Mr. N.K. Verma, Advocate, for the petitioner. VINOD K.SHARMA, J. (ORAL) This revision is directed against the order dated 4.6.2010, passed by the learned Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Fatehgarh Sahib, vide which the evidence of the petitioner was ordered to be closed by passing the following order: - “Statement of one PW has been recorded. No other PW is present. An adjournment has been requested. Today, the claimants were afforded last opportunity for concluding the evidence. The claimants have failed to conclude their evidence despite the last opportunity afforded to them. Hence the evidence of the claimants is closed by order. For evidence of the respondents, put up the file on 27.7.2010.” Learned counsel for the petitioner does not contest the case on merits and prays that keeping in view that the Motor Vehicles Act is a beneficial legislation, the petitioner be granted one last opportunity to conclude his entire evidence, subject to payment of costs. In view of the stand taken by the learned counsel for the C.R. No. 4989 of 2010 -2- petitioner, this Court feels that it would be in the interest of justice if the petitioner is granted one last opportunity to conclude his entire evidence at his own risk and responsibility on the date to be fixed by the learned Motor Accident Claims Tribunal. “Ordered accordingly.” However, this shall be subject to payment of Rs.2,000/- (Rupees two thousand only) as costs. Revision disposed off. (Vinod K. Sharma) Judge August 10, 2010 R.S.
