IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Revision No.6873 of 2009(O&M) Date of Decision 25.11.2009 Satwant Kaur ...... Petitioner VERSUS Amandeep Kaur and others ...... Respondents CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE A.N.JINDAL Present: Mr.Narinder Sharma, Advocate, for the petitioner. ***** A.N.JINDAL, J(ORAL): This petition is directed against the order dated 25.10.2008, passed by Additional Civil Judge (Senior Division), Patiala, whereby the defence of petitioner-defendant No.1 has been struck of due to non-filing of written statement. The impugned order transpires that despite 18 opportunities provided to the petitioner, written statement could not be filed. As such, he has committed grave negligence, however, keeping in view the fact that the rights of the defendant be not jeopardized if he is left unheard, one opportunity needs to be granted to the petitioner to file written statement, subject to payment of Rs.15,000/- as costs. This petition is disposed of without issuing notice to the respondent(s) with a view to impart complete justice to the parties and to save huge expenses which may be incurred by the respondent(s) as also in order to avoid unnecessary delay in adjudication of the matter. If, still dissatisfied, the respondent(s) may move this Court for recalling this order. (A.N.Jindal) Judge 25.11.2009 mamta-II
