Judgment 2 wp5289.14.odt
CORAM : Z.A.HAQ, J.
DATED : MARCH 23, 2017.
ORAL JUDGMENT :
1. Heard learned advocate for the petitioner-original plaintiff.
None appears for the respondents, though served.
2. RULE. Rule made returnable forthwith.
3. The petitioner/ plaintiff has filed this petition challenging the
order passed by the trial Court rejecting the application (Exh.115) filed by
the plaintiff seeking permission to amend the plaint.
4. The plaintiff has filed civil suit praying for decree for specific
performance of contract or in the alternative for refund of the earnest money.
The plaintiff has also prayed for decree for permanent injunction restraining
the defendants from undertaking any construction over the land adjoining
the suit property,which may reduce the area of the suit property. The plaintiff
has prayed for decree for permanent injunction restraining the defendants
from creating third party interest in the suit property. In this civil suit, the
plaintiff filed application (Exh.115) seeking permission to amend the plaint.
By the proposed amendment, the plaintiff intends to bring on record certain
pleadings to substantiate his claim. The application(Exh.115) is rejected by
the impugned order on the ground that certain pleadings which the plaintiff
Judgment 3 wp5289.14.odt
intends to bring on record are not relevant and that it appears that the
plaintiff intends to amend the plaint only to refute the contentions of the
defendants.
5. In my view, the reasons given by the learned trial Judge for
rejecting the application (Exh.115) are not proper. Whether the pleadings
which the plaintiff wants to bring on record by the proposed amendment are
directly related to the claim of the plaintiff or not cannot be adjudged at this
stage unless the plaintiff is permitted to incorporate the pleadings and lead
evidence on those aspects. In the impugned order there is nothing which
shows that there is any legal impediment because of which the plaintiff
cannot be permitted to amend the plaint. The learned trial Judge has not
considered the matter properly and has committed an error by rejecting the
application (Exh.115).
Hence, the following order :
i) The impugned order is set aside.
ii) The application (Exh.115) filed by the plaintiff is allowed.
iii) The plaintiff is permitted to amend the plaint as prayed in the
application.
Rule is made absolute in the above terms. In the circumstances,
the parties to bear their own costs.
