Tamil Nadu Table Tennis Association v. Tamizhaga Table Tennis Association

A.No.4507 of 2022 in C.S.No.242 of 2019 C.V.KARTHIKEYAN,J.

This application has been filed taking advantage of Order VI Rule 17 of CPC seeking permission to the plaintiff to carry out amendments as mentioned in the schedule to the Judges Summons. 2.A perusal of the schedule to the Judges Summons show that the proposed amendments are with respect to the short cause title and long cause title and also the statement of addresses. The amendment is that the 1st respondent / 1st defendant who was originally sued in the name of Tamil Nadu Table Tennis Association should now be called as Tamizhaga Table Tennis Association.

3.As a matter of fact, this change in the name of the 1st defendant had actually been informed to the Hon'ble Supreme Court in allied proceedings and had been recorded in their order also. This application is consequential to recognizing the fact that the 1st defendant is now called as Tamizhaga Table Tennis Association.

4.The plaintiff has also in the schedule to the Judges Summons sought an additional paragraph 48(A) to be introduced. In that particular paragraph, the plaintiff has stated that this change in the name of the 1st defendant is a direct violation of the interim order granted by this Court on 02.04.2019 and which according to the plaintiff had also been confirmed by the Hon'ble Supreme Court on 11.12.2019.

5.This assertion is disputed by the learned counsel for the 1st defendant.

6. But since it is an interpretation of the order, it would not be proper on the part of this Court to enter into any discussion I would rather permit the amendment, but give an opportunity to the 1st defendant to file any additional written statement stating any fact they want to state to controvert this assertion by the plaintiff.

7. Observing as above, this Application stands allowed.

8. Time for amendment by the plaintiff is two weeks and after service of the amended plaint copy on the learned counsel for the defendants, any of the defendants may file further additional written statement within a period of two weeks thereafter.
