Civil Revision No. 6710 of 2011 (O&M) 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Civil Revision No. 6710 of 2011 (O&M) Date of decision:- 03.11.2011 Suresh Kumar ....Petitioner Vs. B.B.M.B. through its Deputy Chief Engineer/Superintending Engineer ....Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE A.N. JINDAL ****** Present:- Mr. R.S. Chauhan, Advocate, for the petitioner. A.N. JINDAL, J (ORAL) This petition assails the order dated 13.09.2011 (Annexure P-3) passed by the Additional Civil Judge (Senior Division), Mukerian, whereby evidence of the defendant-petitioner (hereinafter referred as 'the petitioner') was closed by order. The suit was filed by the plaintiff-respondent on 07.03.2005 and the evidence of the plaintiff was closed on 18.05.2010. The grievance of the petitioner is that he was not provided sufficient opportunity to lead evidence. Having examined the records, the rights of the parties cannot be scuttled due to some unintentional delay in leading evidence which could be compensated with costs. As such, this petition is accepted, the impugned order is set aside and the petitioner is granted three months' time to conclude his evidence, subject to payment of Rs.1000/- as costs. Civil Revision No. 6710 of 2011 (O&M) 2 However, no further opportunity would be provided to the petitioner to lead evidence. This petition is disposed of without issuing notice to the respondent with a view to impart complete justice to the parties and to save the huge expenses, which may be incurred by the respondent as also in order to avoid unnecessary delay in adjudication of the matter. Still, if dissatisfied, the respondent may move to this Court for recalling this order. (A.N.JINDAL) November 03, 2011 JUDGE ajp
