IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CR No.5289/2011 Date of decision: 01.09.2011. Parvinder Kaur ....................Petitioner v. Harjit Singh .....................Respondent Coram: Hon'ble Mr.Justice Jaswant Singh Present: Mr.A.S.Sivia,Advocate for the petitioner. Jaswant Singh.J.(Oral) Defendant/petitioner in the present revision petition under Article 227 of the Constitution has assailed the order dated 19.7.2011 (P3) whereby her application for leading additional evidence in the shape of examination of a Clerk from the office of Deputy Commissioner, to prove the Collector's rate of the suit land, has been dismissed. It is apparent that respondent Harjit Singh (Plaintiff) had filed a suit possession by way of specific performance of the agreement to sell dated 15.7.2004 in respect of land measuring 11 kanals 7 marlas fully described in the head note of the plaint @ Rs.1.60 lacs per acre. It is averred by the plaintiff that the total sale consideration for the land was Rs.2,27,000/- and an earnest money of Rs.1.10 lacs had been paid. It is the case of the defendant that she had executed the writing for the purpose of taking a loan from the plaintiff. After the oral evidence of the defendant/petitioner was closed on 16.12.2010 and for producing documentary evidence was closed on 7.3.2011, an application was moved by the defendant/petitioner to examine a witness from the office of Deputy Commissioner to prove the Collector's rate of the suit land was not Rs.1.60 lacs per acre. After hearing the learned counsel for the defendant/petitioner I find no ground to entertain this revision petition. It is apparent that the civil suit was filed in the year 2004 and the petitioner/defendant was granted ample opportunities to adduce her evidence in support of her stand in the written statement. No exceptional circumstances exist or have been shown to exist to permit the defendant/petitioner to lead proposed additional evidence at the final stage of the suit. For the reasons stated above, I find no ground to exercise jurisdiction of this Court in exercise of powers under Article 227 of the Constitution. Dismissed. 01.09.2011 (Jaswant Singh) joshi Judge
