CR No. 6780 of 2008 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CR No. 6780 of 2008 Decided on : 08-12-2008 Mahavir Singh ....Petitioner VERSUS Bal Krishan ....Respondent CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE MAHESH GROVER Present:- Mr. D.S.Nain, Advocate for the petitioner. MAHESH GROVER, J This petition is directed against the order dated 5.11.2008 by which the evidence of the petitioner has been directed to be closed. Learned counsel for the petitioner contends that if only one opportunity is granted, he shall adduce his entire evidence. The petitioner is facing a suit for recovery and it is apparent that he is interested in delaying the proceedings. After hearing learned counsel for the petitioner, I am of the considered opinion that the present revision petition can be disposed of at this stage without issuance of notice of motion as resorting to this process is likely to delay the proceedings further and equitable justice can be ensured by compensating the other side with costs. There is no infirmity in the impugned order, however, having regard to the prayer made by the petitioner, the revision petition is accepted purely in the interest of justice and the petitioner is granted one opportunity CR No. 6780 of 2008 2 to produce his entire evidence. The Trial Court shall fix one effective date for the said purpose. The impugned order is set aside and the petitioner is directed to be given one effective opportunity as observed above, however, subject to payment of Rs .10,000/- as costs.
