Civil Revision No. 4719 of 2009 -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Revision No. 4719 of 2009 Date of decision: 21.08.2009 Seetal Singh ....Petitioner Versus Sohan Singh and others ....Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE VINOD K. SHARMA Present: - Mr. Balbir Singh, Advocate, for the petitioner. ***** VINOD K. SHARMA, J (ORAL) This revision petition is directed against the order dated 3.8.2009 by the learned Civil Judge (Junior Division), Phagwara, closing evidence of the petitioner by order. The order passed reads as under: - “PW Harish Kumar, office Kanungo has come present and suffered a statement that record has not traced out despite efforts. No PW is present. Plaintiff has availed numerous opportunities but failed to conclude its evidence. Case is already 5 years old. As such, evidence of the plaintiff is closed by order of this Court. To come up on 10.8.2009 for evidence of the defendant.” Learned counsel for the petitioner has not challenged the order on merits and prays that in the interest of justice, the petitioner may be granted one last opportunity to conclude his evidence at his own risk and responsibility. In view of the stand taken by the learned counsel for the Civil Revision No. 4719 of 2009 -2- petitioner and without going into the merits of the case, I feel that interest of justice would be served 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. It is, however, made clear that the assistance of the Court be granted for summoning the official witness, if any. However, this shall be subject to payment of Rs.5,000/- (Rupees five thousand only) as costs. Disposed of. (Vinod K. Sharma) Judge August 21, 2009 R.S.
