The objective for closing of the evidence of the defendant-<\/p>\n<p>petitioner, mentioned by the trial court, seems to be reasonable on the<\/p>\n<p>face of it but learned counsel for the   defendant- petitioner has submitted<\/p>\n<p>that no evidence of the defendants has been produced on the record and<\/p>\n<p>that if only one opportunity is given to the defendant- petitioner to produce<\/p>\n<p>the entire evidence at his own responsibility, the interest of justice would be<\/p>\n<p>adequately met and the defendants will get an opportunity to contest the<\/p>\n<p>claim of the plaintiff- respondent No.1, raised in the suit for a declaration<\/p>\n<p>pertaining to the suit property, which is more than 200 kanals.

The<\/p>\n<p>trial court may also permit the defendants to tender in evidence any<\/p>\n<p>document in accordance with the procedure of law by giving one more<\/p>\n<p>opportunity within the period of one month after the receipt of a certified<\/p>\n<p>copy of this order subject to payment of a sum of Rs.10,000\/- as costs. The<\/p>\n<p>costs will be paid by the defendant- petitioner by putting in appearance<\/p>\n<p>before the trial court on 16.1.2010.
