IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CR No. 5540 of 2008 Date of decision: 02.04.2009 Vidya Education Society, Village Bhupani, tehsil and district Faridabad. ...Petitioner Versus Hasan Ali alias Guddu and others ...Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE A.N. JINDAL Present: Mr. S.S.Walia, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr.Inderjit Sharma, Advocate for the respondents. *** A.N. Jindal, J. The petitioner has submitted that he never made any statement for closing evidence, the same was closed on the oral statement given by the counsel and he never instructed his counsel to close the evidence. He has further submitted that after the insurance company led the evidence with regard to the fake driving licence, he found necessity to examine himself in order to show that he had bona fide plea that the driving licence shown to him by the driver was valid. On the other hand, the counsel for the respondent has opposed the aforesaid argument. The plea set-up by the counsel for the petitioner-respondent No.2 for leading additional evidence is that it wants to rebut the evidence led by the national insurance company- respondent No.3 with whom its interest is clashing. The plea appears to be quite genuine. In the peculiar circumstances of the case and in order to bring the truth to the surface, the ends of justice would warrant for providing an opportunity to petitioner-respondent No.2 to lead additional evidence. In view of above, I allow this petition, set aside the impugned order and provide an opportunity to petitioner-respondent No.2 to complete his evidence within a period of three months from today subject to payment of cost of Rs.5000/-.
