1 Bsb IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO. 4826 OF 2009 Mr.Shahabuddin Sultan Bohra & anr. ... Petitioners v/s Mrs.Zaitoon Abdul Hameed ... Respondent Ms.Duraiya S. Retiwala for the petitioners. Mr.N.P.Bhavsar for the respondent. CORAM: SMT.NISHITA MHATRE, J. DATED: 22ND JUNE, 2009 P.C.: 1. The petitioners are aggrieved by the order passed by the Trial Court on 18.3.2009 by which the amendment sought by the petitioners to amend their written statement has been disallowed. By this amendment the petitioners have sought to contend that the application for standard rent was not maintainable in law. 2. In my opinion, even if such an amendment is not 2 incorporated, the petitioners can in any event challenge the status of the respondent by contending in the written statement that the respondent is not a tenant. This issue will, therefore, have to be decided by the Trial Court before passing any order on the standard rent application. Unless the respondent is a tenant, the question of deciding the standard rent application would not arise. 3. Writ petition disposed of accordingly. ..... 3
