Civil Revision No. 5346 of 2009 (O&M) 1 In the High Court of Punjab and Haryana at Chandigarh Civil Revision No. 5346 of 2009 (O&M) Date of decision: 16.9.2009 Gurdial Singh and another ......petitioners Versus Sukhdev Singh and another .......Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MRS. JUSTICE SABINA Present: Mr.Rahul Sharma, Advocate. for the petitioners. **** SABINA, J. Plaintiffs-petitioners filed a suit for permanent injunction restraining the defendants from interfering in their peaceful possession. Vide the impugned order dated 28.8.2009 passed by the Additional Civil Judge (Sr.Division)- cum Rent Controller-cum- Sub Divisional Judicial Magistrate, Khanna, the evidence of the plaintiffs has been closed by order. Hence, the present revision petition under Article 227 of the Constitution of India. Civil Revision No. 5346 of 2009 (O&M) 2 Learned counsel for the petitioners has submitted that one more opportunity be granted to the petitioners to conclude their evidence. Only one witness was required to be examined and his affidavit was already on record. After hearing learned counsel for the petitioners, I am of the opinion that the present revision petition deserves dismissal. A perusal of the impugned order reveals that the issues in this case were framed on 23.11.2004 and thereafter, numerous opportunities were granted to the plaintiffs to conclude their evidence. Despite last opportunity, the plaintiffs had failed to conclude their evidence. Thus, in the present case, the suit had remained pending from 23.11.2004 onwards for plaintiffs' evidence till 28.8.2009. In these almost five years, plaintiffs could not conclude their evidence and had failed to do so despite last opportunity. In these circumstances, learned trial Court was justified in closing the evidence of the plaintiffs by order. The plaintiffs were required to be vigilant and pursue their case with diligence. Hence, no ground for interference in the impugned order is called for. Accordingly, this petition is dismissed. (SABINA) JUDGE September 16, 2009 anita
