Present: Mr. Rakesh Verma, Advocate for the petitioner. Kanwaljit Singh Ahluwalia, J. (Oral) Learned counsel for the petitioner submits at bar that on 29.9.2010, the Rent Controller, Ludhiana, had simply adjourned the matter and no proceeding had taken place. He further submits that on 22.9.2010, the Rent Controller, by closing the evidence of tenant/petitioner, had denied the fair play to him. Learned counsel further submits that the examination-in-chief of the petitioner/tenant has been concluded and he only prays that one opportunity be granted to conclude his cross-examination. Request made by learned counsel for the petitioner is accepted. Hence, the present revision petition is accepted and the impugned order dated 22.9.2010, passed by the Rent Controller, Ludhiana, is set aside. Since the petitioner has not been vigilant enough Civil Revision No. 6470 of 2010 2 to lead his entire evidence, cost of Rs.2,000/- is imposed upon the petitioner. Subject to payment of cost, the Rent Controller shall afford an opportunity to the petitioner to step into the witness box so that the landlord is able to cross-examine him. It is stated that the case is now fixed for tomorrow i.e. 6.10.2010. The petitioner/tenant shall step into the witness box tomorrow and learned counsel for the landlord may conclude his cross-examination on that day itself. In case, it is not possible, one date be granted by the Rent Controller for this purpose. A copy of this order, under the signatures of the Special Secretary of this Court, be furnished to learned counsel for the petitioner, for onward transmission and compliance.
