(ORAL) The petitioner has invoked the jurisdiction of this Court under Article 227 of the Constitution of India, to challenge the order dated 30.11.2009, passed by the learned Additional Civil Judge (Senior Diviosion), Amritsar, vide which the evidence of the petitioner was ordered to be closed by passing the following order: - “No PW is present nor served for today. Today is the second last opportunity given to the plaintiff. Even an undertaking was given by the counsel for the plaintiff that his client will conclude entire evidence on the next date of hearing, failing which evidence shall deem to be closed by order. I do not find any ground to further adjourn the case for evidence of plaintiff. As such, evidence of plaintiff is closed by order. Case is adjourned to 23.12.2009 for evidence of defendants.” Learned counsel for the petitioner does not contest the case on merits and prays that in the interest of justice, the petitioner be granted one last opportunity to conclude his entire evidence, subject to payment of costs. C.R. No. 1475 of 2010 -2- In view of the stand taken by the learned counsel for the 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 trial Court. “Ordered accordingly.” However, this shall be subject to payment of Rs.5,000/- (Rupees five thousand only) as costs.
