Crl. Revision No.1801 of 2011 (O & M) ::1:: IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl. Revision No.1801 of 2011 (O & M) Date of decision: 12.08.2011 Hardam Singh ..... Petitioner Versus Mohinder Pal ..... Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: Mr.Tejinder Pal Singh, Advocate, for the petitioner. **** RAJAN GUPTA, J.: (Oral) This is a revision petition against the order dated 31st May, 2011 passed by the court of Additional Sessions Judge, Barnala, whereby application filed by the petitioner for adducing additional evidence was dismissed. Learned counsel has argued that the petitioner has sufficient reason to produce additional evidence regarding a civil suit, which is pending in the court of Civil Judge (Senior Division), Sangrur. He submits that trial court has also summoned the record of said suit to ascertain whether offence under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act has been committed. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner. The present application has been moved by the petitioner at the appellate stage seeking summoning of the file of a case titled as 'Mohinder Singh versus Hardam Singh' pending before the court of Civil Judge (Senior Division), Sangrur. On a query being put to learned counsel why such evidence was not produced during the pendency of trial, no clear answer is forthcoming. Crl. Revision No.1801 of 2011 (O & M) ::2:: The application of the petitioner was dismissed by the appellate court observing that it was a clever attempt to delay the adjudication of the appeal. Learned counsel has not been able to point out how record of civil court is relevant at this stage. I, thus, find no legal infirmity with the impugned order. The revision petition is hereby dismissed. (RAJAN GUPTA) JUDGE August 12, 2011 sukhpreet
