IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH C.R.No.4956 of 2010 (O&M) Date of Decision : 16.8.2010 Manpreet Kaur and others ....Petitioners Versus Kurukshetra University, Kurukshetra and others ...Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE MAHESH GROVER .... Present : Mr.Sanjay Verma, Advocate for the petitioners. ..... MAHESH GROVER, J. There is no legal infirmity in the impugned order. The petitioners made a prayer for adducing additional evidence which was declined. A perusal of the impugned order reveals the narration of facts from which it is established that the petitioners completed their affirmative evidence and thereafter the respondents also completed their evidence on 12.9.2009. Subsequent thereto the petitioners were granted as many as 14 opportunities to lead their evidence in rebuttal but they failed to do so. Thereafter, the petitioners moved the instant application on 20.7.2010 which has been declined. The facts also reveal that prior to this the petitioners had filed another application for the same purpose which was also dismissed. In view of these peculiar facts I am of the opinion that the petitioners were totally lax in producing their evidence, in support of their case, the provisions of C.R.No.4956 of 2010 (O&M) -2- Order 18 Rule 17-A CPC for the purpose of additional evidence cannot be permitted to be abused in this manner. Dismissed. 16.8.2010 (MAHESH GROVER) JUDGE dss
