Nevertheless respondent was allowed to amend the title of the application under Order 39 Rule 2-A CPC by substituting name of Ranjit Singh in place of Jarnail Singh and Gurcharan Kaur. However, neither the respondent asked for making the amendment of the subject so also to change the name of the person submitting the application. The other substantial point as advanced by the counsel for the petitioner is that whether the amendment of the application under Order 39 Rule 2-A amounts to amendment of pleadings and whether such amendment could be permitted. Faced with the situation, counsel for the respondent has submitted that he C.R.
