Paviter Singh .....Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE RAM CHAND GUPTA Present: Mr.Naresh Kumar Joshi, Advocate and Ms.Sai Geeta, Advocate for the petitioner. ..... RAM CHAND GUPTA, J.(Oral) Petitioner has invoked supervisory jurisdiction of this Court under Article 227 of the Constitution of India for setting aside order dated 26.7.2011 passed by learned trial Court vide which evidence of petitioner- defendant was closed. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner and have gone through the whole record carefully including the impugned order passed by learned trial Court. It has been contended by learned counsel for the petitioner that issues in this case were framed vide order dated 27.9.2008 and, however evidence of of respondent-plaintiff was closed vide order dated 26.11.2010 and, hence, more than two years were taken by respondent-plaintiff for conclusion of his evidence. Further contends that though 4-5 opportunities were availed by petitioner-defendant as well to lead evidence and, however, only one witness, namely, Suresh Kumar r/o Sunam, remains to be examined, who is a very material witness, who had scribed the receipt dated Civil Revision No.5104 of 2011(O&M) -2- 15.7.2007. Hence, it is contended that only one opportunity be granted to petitioner-defendant to produce this witness at his own responsibility. Hence, in view of these facts, one opportunity can be granted to petitioner-defendant for this purpose and the other party can be compensated by way of cost. Hence, the present revision petition is accepted. Impugned order is set aside. Learned trial Court is directed to grant one opportunity to petitioner-defendant to examine DW-Suresh Kumar at his own responsibility subject to payment of `5,000/- as cost, which shall be a condition precedent. Disposed of accordingly. 25.8.2011 (Ram Chand Gupta) meenu Judge
