CORAM: S.C.DHARMADHIKARI CORAM: S.C.DHARMADHIKARI CORAM: S.C.DHARMADHIKARI J. J. J. 24th June 2008 24th June 2008 24th June 2008 P.C. P.C. P.C. 1. Heard the learned Counsel appearing for the parties. The chamber summons has been duly served. There is no affidavit opposing the request for amendment. 2. In any event the amendments are sought on the basis of subsequent developments and in the submission of the applicant that would assist this Court in completely and properly resolving the controversy. In my view, no prejudice is likely to be caused merely because some of the petitioners are now being transposed as respondents. Needless to state that the amendments being granted does not mean that any rights of the parties so also their contentions on merits stand concluded. Subject to they being kept open this chamber summons is made absolute in terms of prayer clause (a). Amendment to be carried out within a period of two weeks from today. Mr.Haidandy appears for the newly added respondents and waive service and states that he will file his vakalatnama for the transposed/newly added respondents. Needless to further add that whenever in the petition there is a reference to the power of attorney it shall be construed as reference to petitioner no.14 and not the transposed respondents. Amended copy of the petition would be served on all the parties within a period of four weeks from the date of carrying out the amendment. (S.C.DHARMADHIKARI J.) (S.C.DHARMADHIKARI J.)
