ORDER

The civil revision petition is filed challenging the order passed by the XIV Court of Small Causes, Chennai, allowing the application for amendment filed by the respondent/landlord seeking to include a new ground of eviction under Section 21 (2)(a) of the Tamil Nadu Regulation of Rights and Responsibilities of Landlord and Tenant Act. 1/4

2.The respondent originally filed an eviction petition on the grounds of default in payment of rent and parting with possession of the property during continuance of the tenancy under Sections 21 (2)(b) and 21(2)(c) of the Tamil Nadu Regulation of Rights and Responsibilities of Landlord and Tenant Act. Now, instant application for amendment has been filed seeking to include yet another ground of eviction, namely, failure to enter into a rental agreement under the provisions of the Act. The same was opposed by the petitioner herein. The learned Rent Court allowed the amendment application. Aggrieved by the same, the petitioner before this Court.

3.The learned counsel for the petitioner vehemently contended that the cross examination of the respondent was already over. Thereafter, the present application has been filed to deprive the petitioner of fair opportunity to cross examine the respondent witness with regard to the new ground. Whenever the amendment application is allowed, the respondent (petitioner herein) in the proceeding is entitled to file additional counter and if necessary, the petitioner can also seek recall the witness examined by the respondent so as to cross examine him with regard to the 2/4

matter on the new ground raised. Therefore, the objection raised by the learned counsel for the petitioner is not appealable to this Court. I do not find any error or illegality in the order passed by the court below. 4.Accordingly, the civil revision petition stands dismissed. No costs. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petition is closed. Index : Yes/No 07.11.2025 Internet : Yes/No sms To The XIV Small Causes Court, at Chennai.
