CR No. 1419 of 2009 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA, CHANDIGARH CR No. 1419 of 2009 Date of decision March 17, 2009 Harsharan Bir Singh ....... Petitioner Versus Dharam Singh Baidwan ........Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE K. KANNAN Present:- Mr. Charanjit Singh Bakhshi, Advocate for the petitioner. **** 1. Whether reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgment ? 2. To be referred to the reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the digest? K. Kannan, J (oral). 1. The revision is against an order passed by the Rent Controller striking off the defence and posting the case for evidence of the petitioner. 2. Learned counsel for the petitioner states that the case had been originally posted to 23.9.2008 and adjourned to 20.11.2008. Later the petition for pre-poning the hearing had been made and the Court had not fixed the case for hearing on 18.11.2008 for filing of the statement. The non-filing of the statement on that day when it was not posted for the purpose was not deliberate. He states that the case which had been posted on 13.2.2009 has now stood adjourned to 2.4.2009. He is prepared to file the written statement on that date of hearing. 3. Although, no serious error could be seen from the order of the Rent Controller, still in the interest of justice, I deem it CR No. 1419 of 2009 2 appropriate to permit the petitioner to file the written statement subject to payment of costs as Rs.2,500/- to the respondent on or before 31.3.2009. If the costs are not paid, the order already passed on 18.11.2008 shall stand restored. 4. The revision petition is disposed of in the above terms. (K. KANNAN) JUDGE March 17, 2009 archana
