Learned counsel for the petitioners states that the provisions of Civil Procedure Code are handmaid for the administration of justice and their defence should not be shut merely on the technicalities. Learned counsel for the petitioners has submitted that the petitioners shall complete their evidence in one opportunity, if granted, at their own risk and responsibility. Learned counsel for the petitioners has further submitted that no prejudice is going to be caused to the defendant-respondents who can be well compensated with costs. I have learned counsel for the petitioners. After hearing learned counsel for the petitioners, I deem it appropriate to grant one more opportunity to the petitioners to lead their evidence entirely at their own risk and responsibility subject to payment of costs of Rs.3000/-. Consequently, the impugned order is set aside. The Civil Revision No.2265 of 2010 2 petitioners shall appear before the trial Court on the date fixed i.e.13.04.2010. On that day, the petitioners shall pay the costs to the plaintiff-respondents as assessed above. On their doing so, the trial Court shall fix a date granting them one opportunity to lead their evidence entirely on their own risk and responsibility. It is made clear that no further opportunity shall be granted to the petitioners. Civil Revision stands disposed of. (RAKESH KUMAR GARG) JUDGE 05.04.2010 neenu
