Civil Revision No. 4022 of 2011 Date of Decision: 6.7.2011 Ram Singh and Others …Petitioners Versus Bala Ram and Others …Respondents CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA. Present: Mr. Rajbir Singh, Advocate for the petitioners. Kanwaljit Singh Ahluwalia, J. (Oral) In the present revision petition, the impugned order dated 17.5.2011 (Annexure P2), passed by the trial Court, is assailed, whereby evidence of the plaintiffs/petitioners was closed. Learned counsel for the petitioners has referred to the orders passed on various dates to contend that the petitioners have been diligent enough to conclude their evidence, however, due to the circumstances beyond their control, evidence was not available on the day, when the impugned order was passed. Learned counsel further submits that in case two opportunities are granted to the petitioners to conclude their evidence within a span of one month, it will be in the interest of justice. Learned counsel further prays that the petitioners have to examine only three witnesses, namely Udey Ram, Hardwari Lal and Tehsildar of Kasauli. He further submits that Udey Ram and Hardwari Civil Revision No. 4022 of 2011 2 Lal have already tendered their affidavits and they are to be only cross- examined, whereas Tehsildar of Kasauli is to be summoned through the process of Court. Learned counsel further submits that the next date fixed before the trial Court is 28.7.2011 for defence evidence. Mr. Rajbir Singh, Advocate, appearing for the petitioners has very fairly submitted that he is ready and willing to compensate the defendants, in monetary terms, by paying a cost for the alleged delay caused in conclusion of the proceedings. In view of the submissions made by learned counsel for the petitioners, the present revision petition is disposed of by directing the trial Court to afford two opportunities to the petitioners within a span of one month to conclude their entire evidence. Udey Ram and Hardwari Lal shall remain present, at the risk and responsibility of the petitioners, in the trial Court on 28.7.2011 to facilitate conclusion of their cross- examination by the defendants. The petitioners shall also deposit the process fee and diet money for summoning the Tehsildar of Kasauli, within a period of two days before the next date fixed in the trial Court and thereafter, the Tehsildar of Kasauli shall also be examined by the trial Court. The trial Court shall summon the Tehsildar of Kasauli for any date to be fixed after 28.7.2011. The petitioners are fastened with the cost of ` 5,000. On the payment of cost, further proceedings shall be carried out by the trial Court. (Kanwaljit Singh Ahluwalia) Judge July 6, 2011 “DK”
