In the opinion of this Court, the amendment which has been allowed in the plaint in no way, has either changed the nature of the suit or prejudiced the petitioner. In view of the fact that even earlier the case of the plaintiff, opposite party was that the family was joint in which the opposite party/plaintiff was the Karta and he alone had the right to alienate the suit land to the exclusion of any right his son and grand son and the same stand continued by seeking amendment in the plaint as with regard to family arrangement, this Court would find no error much less any jurisdictional error in the impugned allowing amendment in the plaint. Such amendment at best is explanatory in nature and does not change the nature of the suit and/or would cause any prejudice to the petitioner. Considering however that the petitioner has been harassed on account of delay in disposal - 2 - of the suit because of the amendment allowed in the plaint, the cost of Rs. 100/- awarded to him is enhanced to Rs. 1000/- With the aforesaid modification in the impugned order, this Civil Revision application is dismissed.
