Hon'ble Shri Justice Sanjay K. Agrawal Order On Board 06/08/2019
1. By the impugned order, the plaintiff's application for amendment has been rejected by the trial Court.
2. Mr.Gautam Khetrapal, learned counsel for the petitioner/plaintiff, would submit that the trial Court is absolutely unjustified in rejecting the application for amendment as even written statement has not been filed by the defendants and amendment is relating to payment of court fee, therefore, it ought to have allowed.
3. On the other hand, Mr.Himanshu Sinha, learned counsel for respondents No.1 and 2, would support the impugned order.
4. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and considered their rival submissions made hereinabove and also went through the records with utmost circumspection.
5. Taking into consideration the stage of trial as written statement is yet to be filed by the defendants and amendment is relating to payment of court fee, the application for amendment is allowed and the plaintiff is permitted to amend his plaint within 10 days from the date of receipt of certified copy of this order. However, the defendants are also at liberty to raise all permissible plea in written statement, if already not raised.
6. With the aforesaid direction, the writ petition finally stands disposed of. No cost(s).
