IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Revision No. 6286 of 2010 Date of Decision: September 28, 2010 Sulakshna and another …Petitioners Versus Munish Batta. … Respondent CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE ALOK SINGH 1. Whether reporters of local news papers may be Allowed to see judgment? 2. To be referred to reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? Present: Mr. Yogesh Goyal, Advocate, for the petitioners. Alok Singh, J. (Oral) Present petition is filed challenging the order dated 19.07.2010 passed by the learned Civil Judge (Junior Division), Nabha, whereby the amendment application moved by the plaintiff was allowed having observed that trial has not commenced so far. Learned counsel for the petitioners states that after amendment is allowed, an opportunity to file additional C.R. No. 6286 of 2010 written statement ought to have been granted to challenge the pleadings and reliefs incorporated by way of amendment. I do agree with the learned counsel for the petitioners that if plaintiff is permitted to carry out the amendment in the pleadings, then an opportunity to rebut the same should be granted to the defendants – petitioners by way of filing the additional written statement, which was not granted by the learned Trial Court. Petition is disposed of. It is clarified that the learned Trial Court shall grant opportunity to the defendants to file additional written statement to rebut the contentions of the plaintiff in the amended pleadings.
