the learned Civil Judge, Junior Division, Murtizapur has not at all
considered the effect of due diligence test, which is required to be

by virtue of order 6 Rule 17 of the Civil Procedure Code. This test
has been prescribed in proviso to Order 6 Rule 17 and it must be
cleared by the party seeking to incorporate amendment to the
pleadings. Learned Civil Judge, Junior Division, Murtizapur has not
dealt with this material aspect of the law. Therefore, the impugned
order cannot be sustained.
3. Writ Petition is allowed.
4. The impugned order dated 24.7.2014 is hereby quashed
and set aside.

Procedure Code for amendment of the written statement afresh in
accordance with law.
6. Rule is made absolute in these terms. No costs.
