1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY NAGPUR BENCH : NAGPUR WRIT PETITION NO. 5200 OF 2009 (Raibhan Mahadu Bhosle & Ors. vs. Ratan Bhikaji Shirsath) Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders Court's or Judge's orders or directions and Registrar's orders. CORAM : B.P. DHARMADHIKARI, J. DECEMBER 02, 2009. Heard Shri Khanjode, learned counsel for the petitioners. The contention is, norms applicable to amendment of plaint could not have been applied to the application of petitioners which was in fact seeking amendment of written statement. I have perused the impugned order as also proposed amendment. The Court below cannot be said to have committed any error in rejecting the amendment as plaintiff had already closed his evidence by pursis Exh. 49 and facts sought to be added were old facts. The petition is, therefore, without any merit and dismissed. However, petitioner is at liberty to challenge said order before the appropriate appellate forum, if occasion therefor arises after final adjudication in the suit. JUDGE *GS.
