JUSTICE ARVIND KUMAR Present: Mr. DPS Kahlon, Advocate, for the petitioners ... ARVIND KUMAR, J: The present petitioners are some of the defendants in the suit for joint possession titled Harjit Kaur v. Rajwinder Singh and others. They are aggrieved with order dated 9.6.2011 passed by the Civil Judge (Junior Division), Amritsar, by dint of which their evidence has been closed by order of the Court. Hence, this revision. Heard. Counsel for the petitioners contends that the petitioners want to only examine Jujhar Singh who resides in Canada and is returning to India in August,2011 for which a request was made to the Court below but the same was declined. Counsel in all fairness prays for only one opportunity for examination of the said witness, may be subject to payment of costs. Rules and procedure are hand-maid of justice and are meant for enhancing the same and not to scuttle it. For any delay, the other party can be compensated with costs. Accordingly, this revision petition is allowed and the order under challenge is set aside. The trial Court is directed to afford one effective opportunity to the petitioners to examine Jujhar Singh, the above-stated witness, which however, shall be subject to payment of costs of Rs.10,000/- to be paid to the respondents. Keeping in view the circumstances mentioned above, this revision is being disposed of without issuing any notice to the opposite C.R. No. 4329 of 2011 -2- party. If the respondents are summoned to contest this litigation, they will have to incur huge expenses to defend this case. However, liberty is granted to the respondents that if they feel dissatisfied with this order, they may move an application to recall the same. The petition stands disposed of accordingly.
