C.R. No. 298 of 2011 (O&M) 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH C.R. No. 298 of 2011 (O&M) Date of decision : 17.1.2011 Raj Kumar Sharma ......Petitioner Versus Devender Arora .......Respondent ***** CORAM: HON'BLE MRS. JUSTICE SABINA Present : Mr. B.B. Sharma, Advocate, for the petitioner. **** SABINA, J. Petitioner has filed this petition under Article 227 of the Constitution of India for setting aside the order dated 11.12.2010, passed by Civil Judge (Junior Division), Faridabad, whereby the petitioner was proceeded ex-parte. After hearing the learned counsel for the petitioner, I am of the opinion that the instant petition deserves dismissal. A perusal of the impugned order reveals that the case was fixed for cross-examination of the plaintiff on 15.10.2010. Counsel for the petitioner-defendant, however, without permission of the Court left the Court room without cross-examining P.W. Devender Arora. The trial Court adjourned the case to 16.10.2010. However, counsel for the petitioner did C.R. No. 298 of 2011 (O&M) 2 not bother to enquire about the adjourned date and failed to appear before the trial Court to cross-examine P.W. Devender Arora on 16.10.2010. In these circumstances, the defendant was rightly proceeded ex-parte before the trial Court. The impugned order does not call for any interference. Dismissed. (SABINA) JUDGE January 17, 2011 Anand
