3. Learned Counsel for the petitioner, assailing the impugned order, submits that the learned Court below has committed illegality in allowing the amendment of the miscellaneous petition filed by the defendant-judgment debtor.

4. The petitioner is the plaintiff-decree holder in a suit filed by him for specific performance and according to learned Counsel, Title Suit No. 159 of 2016 was filed against the

Patna High Court C.Misc.

An application, under Order IX Rule 13 of the C.P.C., has been filed by the respondentdefendant for setting aside the ex-parte decree in which the amendment petition has been filed bringing on record certain facts, which, according to learned Counsel for the petitioner, will change the nature of the miscellaneous case.

5. I have gone through the impugned order., It appears that the learned Court below, after taking into consideration the materials on record, has come to the conclusion that the proposed amendment is formal in nature and is necessary for just disposal of the restoration application. The learned Court below has also come to the conclusion that in any case, the petitioner in the miscellaneous case has to produce evidence in support of the miscellaneous application and the other side will have the opportunity to rebut the same.

6. I do not find any illegality in the impugned order by which the amendment in the miscellaneous petition has been allowed by the learned Court below. This application is, accordingly, dismissed.
