Civil Revision No. 7012 of 2011 (O&M) 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Civil Revision No. 7012 of 2011 (O&M) Date of decision:- 16.11.2011 Sarwan Singh and others ....Petitioners Vs. Balwinder Singh and others ....Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE A.N. JINDAL ****** Present:- Mr. Prateek Pandit, Advocate, for the petitioners. A.N. JINDAL, J (ORAL) This petition assails the order dated 14.09.2011 (Annexure P-5) passed by the Addl. Civil Judge (Senior Division), Kapurthala, whereby evidence of the defendants-petitioners (hereinafter referred as 'the petitioners') was closed by order. Learned counsel for the petitioners has stated that though seven effective opportunities are stated to have been given to the petitioners, but the evidence could not be closed. He has further urged that petitioners have already tendered affidavits of two witnesses, who are still to be cross-examined and they also undertake to summon and examine other witnesses and close the evidence within three months positively. Having examined the records, the rights of the parties cannot be scuttled due to some unintentional delay in leading evidence which could be compensated with costs. Civil Revision No. 7012 of 2011 (O&M) 2 As such, this petition is accepted, the impugned order is set aside and the petitioners are granted three months' time to conclude their evidence, subject to payment of ` 10,000/- as costs. This petition is disposed of without issuing notice to the respondents with a view to impart complete justice to the parties and to save the huge expenses, which may be incurred by the respondents as also in order to avoid unnecessary delay in adjudication of the matter. Still, if dissatisfied, the respondents may move to this Court for recalling this order. (A.N.JINDAL) November 16, 2011 JUDGE ajp
