IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. CR NO.1680 of 2009 Date of Decision:26.3.2009. Shiva Trading Co. and another ..........Petitioners. Versus M/s Sidh Trading Co.,Dhuri ..........Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE JASWANT SINGH. Present: Mr. Liaqat Ali,Advocate for the petitioners-defendants. JASWANT SINGH,J(Oral). By filing instant revision petition under Article 227 of the Constitution of India, petitioners-defendants lay challenge to the order dated 9.12.2008 passed by the learned Civil Judge (Junior Division)Dhuri, dismissing their application under Order 6 Rule 17 CPC seeking amendment of the written statement. Brief facts of the case are that respondent-plaintiff filed a suit for recovery of Rs.4,79,238/- inclusive of interest as on 18.2.2006, against the petitioners-defendants. In the wake of the pleadings of the parties issues were framed on 9.5.2006. Plaintiff-respondent closed its evidence on 7.11.2007. After availing three opportunities for leading evidence petitioners-defendants moved an application under Order 6 Rule 17 CPC for amendment of the written statement, which was contested by the respondent-plaintiff, and ultimately dismissed by the learned trial Court vide order impugned in this CR NO.1680 of 2009 2 revision petition. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioners-defendants and perused the impugned order. It is apparent that the facts now being sought to be incorporated in the written statement were in the knowledge of the petitioners right from the beginning. It is well settled that after framing of issues, amendment in the written statement can only be permitted if either the events are subsequent or inspite of due diligence shown by the parties some facts could not be incorporated in the written statement. In this regard, reliance can be made upon the judgement of the Hon'ble Apex Court in Vidyabai and others v. Padmalatha and another, 2009(1)RCR (Civil)763. For the reasons stated above,finding no merit in this revision petition the same is hereby dismissed in limine. No costs. 26.3.2009. (Jaswant Singh) joshi Judge
