It was last opportunity. Petitioner has availed number of opportunities including six last opportunities but has failed to conclude the evidence. Present case pertains to year 2003 and is old civil target case. In these circumstances I do not find any justification for further grant of opportunity to petitioner to lead his evidence. Accordingly, the evidence of petitioner is closed by order.” 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.
