C.R. No.911 of 2010 -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH C.R. No.911 of 2010 Date of Decision: 11.02.2010 Jasmair .……Petitioner Versus Ram Bhagat and others ……Respondents Coram:- HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE L. N. MITTAL. Present: Mr. Rajnish Gupta, Advocate for the petitioner. L. N. MITTAL, J (ORAL) Plaintiff Jasmair has filed the instant revision petition under Article 227 of the Constitution of India assailing order dated 12.01.2010 (Annexure P-2) passed by learned Civil Judge (Junior Division), Kaithal thereby closing evidence of the petitioner-plaintiff by Court Order. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner and perused the case file. Learned counsel for the petitioner prays that only one more opportunity be granted to the petitioner-plaintiff to lead his evidence at own responsibility on payment of costs. I have carefully considered the aforesaid contention. Perusal of impugned order (Annexure P-2) reveals that the petitioner was granted at least 7 effective opportunities to lead his evidence. Consequently, it cannot be said that sufficient number of opportunities was not granted to the petitioner to lead his evidence. C.R. No.911 of 2010 -2- However, since learned counsel for the petitioner prays for only one more opportunity to the petitioner to lead his evidence at own responsibility on payment of costs, I am of the considered opinion that the ends of justice would be met if the petitioner is granted one more opportunity on payment of costs. I intend to dispose of the instant revision petition without issuing notices to the respondents so as to avoid further delay in the disposal of the suit and also to save the respondents of the expenses which they may have to incur in engaging counsel if notice of revision petition is issued to them. For the reasons aforesaid, the instant revision petition is allowed and the the trial Court is directed to grant only one more opportunity to the petitioner to lead his entire evidence at own responsibility, subject to payment of Rs.10000/- as costs precedent. The petitioner may take assistance of the Court for summoning his evidence, but it shall be no ground to ask for any more opportunity, even on the ground of non-service of any witness or non-appearance of any witness inspite of service or for any other reason whatsoever.
