CMPMO No. 357/2009 CMP No.292/2009 17.9.2009 Present: Mr. Manohar Lal Sharma, vice counsel for the petitioner. As per office report dated 3.8.2009, the respondent stands served. There was no representation on her behalf on 10.8.2009 when the matter was adjourned for today. Even today, none has caused appearance. Hence, the matter is being heard in the absence of the respondent. In the impugned order, the petitioner’s right to lead evidence stands foreclosed. Petitioner undertakes to produce his entire evidence on any date which may be fixed by the trial Court. Even though I find no error in the impugned order dated 23.3.2009 passed by the Rent Controller, Dalhousie, Distt. Chamba, H.P. in Case No. 4/06 titled as Rupinder Kaur & Ors. vs. Tilak Raj, but however, keeping in view the interest of justice, the parties and also for the fact that the parties should not suffer for the mistake of the counsel, I am inclined to allow the present petition and afford opportunity to the petitioner herein to lead his evidence keeping in view his statement made hereinabove. On 4.5.2009, this Court had stayed further proceedings in the petition pending before the Rent Controller, Dalhousie, Distt. Chamba. The stay order is vacated and the parties are directed to appear before the concerned Court on 30.11.2009. Record be sent back immediately. The Rent Controller shall fix a date on which the petitioner herein shall produce his entire evidence and examine the witnesses. It is clarified that not more than two opportunities shall be afforded to the petitioner herein. The Rent Controller shall endeavour to decide the eviction petition as early as possible. With the aforesaid observations, the present petition stands disposed of, so also the pending application. September 17, 2009 ( Sanjay Karol ), (rana) Judge.
