(ORAL) Defendant is aggrieved by order dated February 15, 2011 by virtue of which the defendant- petitioner has not been granted an opportunity to produce the evidence. A perusal of the order dated February 15, 2011 indicates that the defendant- petitioner has been negligent in producing evidence in time during the period when opportunity was granted to her. It is apparent from the order that defendant had been granted sufficient opportunity to conclude C.R. No. 1203 of 2011 (O&M) [2] the evidence. The defendant appears to have adopted a casual approach in production of evidence. The next date of haring as per the impugned order appears to be February 19, 2011. Counsel informs that now the case is adjourned to February 22, 2011. Without expression of any opinion regarding the reasons for not production of any evidence, in the interest of justice, the petition is allowed and it is ordered that one opportunity will be granted to the defendant- petitioner Gurmeet Kaur to produce her entire evidence at her own responsibility subject to payment of cost of ` 5000/-. It will be open to the trial Court to grant one week’s time to enable the defendant- petitioner to produce entire evidence on her own responsibility on February 22, 2011 or any other day not beyond a period of seven days fixed by the trial Court subject to payment of costs of ` 5000/-. Disposed of in limine. However, it is made clear that in case the defendant fails to offer cost of ` 5000/- and produce all the witnesses at her own responsibility on February 22, 2011 or any other day, as ordered above, this petition will be deemed to have been dismissed.
