PARGAN SINGH Vs. GURMIT SINGH AND ORS.

Decided On September 26, 2001
PARGAN SINGH Appellant
V/S
Gurmit Singh And Ors. Respondents

JUDGEMENT

(1.) THE challenge in this revision petition is to the impugned order whereby the evidence of the petitioner was closed by order.

(2.) IT is a fact that a civil suit was instituted by the plaintiff, now petitioner, in the year 1993. It was decreed ex parte on 21.11.1994. Thereafter, the decree was set aside on the appearance of the defendants.

(3.) SINCE the learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that only the plaintiff is required to be examined and no other witness will be examined by him, the equity of justice, therefore, demands that the plaintiff, who had already undergone the turmoil of prolonged proceedings in the suit for a sufficient long time, should be given an opportunity to appear as his own witness.
