IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. C.R. No. 236 of 2010 (O&M) Date of Decision: 2.2.2010 Bakshish Singh ....Petitioner Versus Gurmail Singh and others ...Respondents CORAM : Hon'ble Mr. Justice Rajesh Bindal Present:- Mr. Liaqat Ali, Advocate for the petitioner. RAJESH BINDAL, J **** The challenge in the present petition is to the order passed by learned Court below whereby the application filed by the petitioner for amendment of written statement has been dismissed. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the amendment was required to plead the fact regarding filing of criminal complaint with the police regarding pronote which was allegedly executed by father of the petitioner being false and fabricated document. As the development had taken place after filing of earlier written statement, the amendment was required. After hearing learned counsel for the petitioner, I do not find any merit in the submission made. The plea regarding pronote on the basis of which the respondent/plaintiff has filed the suit being false and fabricated has admittedly been taken in the written statement already filed. Filing of criminal complaint thereafter against the respondent/plaintiff is not required to be pleaded as such in the written statement. I do not find any illegality has been committed by learned Court below in dismissing the application for amendment. Dismissed. (RAJESH BINDAL) 2.2.2010 JUDGE Reema
