IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA C.R. No.1729 of 2008 RAMOTAR YADAV & ANR Versus RAMCHANDRA YADAV & ORS ----------- 2 24.10.2008 Heard Counsel for the petitioners. In the opinion of this Court, when in the original written statement, not a word was said about the previous partition much less any thing about the schedule, the proposed amendment in the written statement by introducing facts with regard to the previous partition and also enclosing the schedule would only create more of a confusion and in fact may also lead to framing of an additional issue beyond the limited parameters of a partition suit wherein the evidence of the plaintiff opposite party has been virtually completed. That apart, such amended pleadings will also change the nature of the suit. Accordingly, this Court would not find any reason to interfere with the impugned order inasmuch as the Court below has rightly rejected the application filed by the defendant petitioner seeking wholly belated amendment in the written statement on valid grounds. That being so, this civil revision application, being wholly misconceived, is hereby dismissed. Rsh (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
