IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH C.R.No.5942 of 2009 Date of decision : 20.1.2010 Janak Lal Aggarwal ....Petitioner Versus Haryana Urban Development Authority and another ...Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE MAHESH GROVER .... Present : Mr. Rohit Ahuja, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr.Manish Bansal, Advocate for the respondents. ..... MAHESH GROVER, J. This is a petition impugning the order dated 20.8.2009 whereby the evidence of the petitioner has been closed. It is contended by the learned counsel for the petitioner that if one opportunity is granted to him, he will conclude his entire evidence. This prayer is opposed by the learned counsel for the respondents who states that as many as 3 opportunities were granted to the petitioner as a measure of last opportunity and yet he did not conclude his evidence and thus there is no occasion to grant any further opportunity to the petitioner. After hearing the learned counsel for the parties, I am of C.R.No.5942 of 2009 -2- the opinion that even though there is no infirmity in the impugned order, which has rightly been passed in the given set of circumstances, however, noticing the fact that equitable justice can also be ensured by compensating the other side with costs, I deem it appropriate to dispose of this petition with a direction to the learned trial court to grant one effective opportunity to the petitioner to adduce his entire evidence subject to payment of Rs.5,000/- as costs. It is made clear that no further opportunity shall be granted to the petitioner under any circumstances. In such an eventuality, the impugned order shall stand set aside. The revision petition is disposed of in the aforesaid terms. 20.1.2010 (MAHESH GROVER) JUDGE dss
