(1) S.B. Civil Writ Petition No. 1969/2010 (Lalit Jain Vs. Kanhaiya Lal) and (2)S.B. Civil Writ Petition No.4274/2009 (Kanhaiya Lal Vs. Lalit Jain) ... Date of Order: March 10, 2010 HON'BLE DR. JUSTICE VINEET KOTHARI Mr. Manish Pitaliya, for petitioner Lalit Jain. Mr. Shambhoo Singh, for petitioner Kanhaiya Lal. These two writ petitions arise out of the same suit filed for recovery of money by plaintiff Lalit Jain against defendant Kanhaiya Lal. Petitioner in Writ Petition No. 1969/2010 is aggrieved by the order dated 15-01-2010 passed by the court below whereby the petitioner's evidence has been closed after the three opportunities have been given by the trial court; whereas the petitioner in writ petition No.4274/2009 is aggrieved by the order dated 18-7-2006 whereby the opportunity to file written statement by petitioner- defendant Kanhaiya Lal was closed as it was filed belatedly. Thus, it appears that both the parties have defaulted and consequently the plaintiff's evidence was closed and the opportunity to file written statement by defendant Kanhaiya Lal has also been closed by the trial Court. Having heard learned counsel for both the parties and in the fact and circumstances, this Court considers it expedient to dispose of both the writ petition by setting aside the impugned orders and directing the trial court to take the written statement on record if the same has already been filed and if not filed, the same be filed within two weeks from today, as also allow the plaintiff-petitioner to lead his evidence subject to payment of cost of Rs.2000/- (Rupees two thousand) by each of the petitioners in the aforesaid writ petitions.
