(ORAL) The petitioner is aggrieved against the order dated 08.09.2011, Annexure P-1, passed by the learned Additional Civil Judge, Sr. Divn., Nabha, whereby the evidence of the petitioner- plaintiff has been closed by order. The learned counsel contends that three PWs, including the plaintiff, were present on 17.02.2011, however, the matter was adjourned at request of the learned counsel for the defendant to 17.3.2011 for cross-examination of the PWs. On 17.3.2011, two PWs were cross-examined. At the request of the plaintiff, the case was adjourned to 21.07.2011 for remaining PWs at his own responsibility. On 21.07.2011, no PW was present and the case was adjourned to 1 Civil Revision No.7140 of 2011 08.09.2011 by granting last opportunity. No PW came present on 08.09.2011. Thus, the evidence of the plaintiff was closed by order. The suit is for recovery of `4,86,500/- (`3,50,000/- as Principal amount and `1,36,500/- as interest at the rate of 1.56% per month w.e.f. 1.5.2004 to 31.5.2006 along with future interest w.e.f. 1.06.2006 till the final realization of the suit amount. The cross- examination of the PWs is sought to prove his suit for recovery. In the circumstances, this Court is of the considered opinion that in order to advance the cause of justice, the petitioner- plaintiff deserves to be given one more opportunity to get himself and his witnesses examined on the date to be fixed by the learned trial Court. The date so fixed by the learned trial Court will be the last and final opportunity to conclude the entire evidence by the plaintiff. The impugned order dated 08.09.2011 is set aside, this revision petition is accepted and one more opportunity is granted to the plaintiff to conclude his evidence. However, the same shall be subject to the payment of `20,000/- as costs. Allowed. ( JITENDRA CHAUHAN ) 22.11.2011 JUDGE atulsethi Note: Whether to be referred to reporter ? Yes/No 2
