% 02.09.2025 1.

Petitioners are aggrieved by order dated 05.06.2025 whereby learned Trial Court has permitted plaintiffs to carry out certain amendments in their plaint.

2.

It seems that the abovesaid situation had, primarily, arisen because of the fact that the defendants had filed an application under Order VII Rule 11 CPC seeking rejection of the suit in question and while disposing of said application, the Court granted plaintiffs an opportunity to amend the suit. 3.

Armed with the abovesaid liberty granted by learned Trial Court, the plaintiffs filed an application seeking amendment in the plaint which has been allowed by learned Trial Court.

application, more so when such request comes at the initial stages of the suit when even issues are not framed, is, generally speaking, liberal. There is also nothing on record which may indicate that by virtue of proposed amendment, the plaintiff is trying to retract from any admission or that it has caused any demonstrable prejudice to defendants.

5.

The exercise of discretion, while allowing the abovesaid amendment application, does not seem to be arbitrary or perverse from any angle whatsoever and, therefore, this Court while invoking its supervisory powers under Article 227 of Constitution of India does not find any compelling reason to interfere with the impugned order.

6.

Petition is accordingly dismissed.

7.

However, all rights and contentions of defendant are reserved and the dismissal would not be taken as a reflection on merits of the defence set up by the defendant.

8.

Pending applications also stand disposed of in aforesaid terms.
