CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AJAY KUMAR MITTAL. PRESENT: Mr. M.K. Dogra, Advocate for the petitioners. AJAY KUMAR MITTAL, J. Defendants No.1 and 3 have approached this Court under Article 227 of the Constitution of India raising a grievance against the order dated 25.5.2009 (Annexure P-3) passed by the trial court whereby the application filed by them under Order 6 Rule 17 of the Code of Civil Procedure for amendment of the written statement was dismissed. The trial court while dismissing the application for amendment of the written statement has noticed that the suit was filed on 3.8.2000 and thereafter written statement was filed on 51.2001 and issues were framed on 7.5.2001. The plaintiff closed his evidence on 11.11.2005 and the defendants had also concluded the same on 24.10.2006. Thereafter, an application was filed by the defendant- petitioners seeking amendment of the written statement whereby they want to add preliminary objections regarding maintainability of suit, locus standi, rejection of the plaint under Order 7 Rule 11 of the Code of CR No. 3925 of 2009 -2- Civil Procedure, non-joinder and mis-joinder of necessary parties and the suit being time barred. The trial court has emphatically recorded that the application had been moved only to delay the proceedings. After hearing the learned counsel for the petitioners and perusing the record, no illegality or perversity could be pointed out in the order dated 25.5.2009 passed by the trial court which may warrant interference by this Court in exercise of its jurisdiction under Article 227 of the Constitution of India. Accordingly, there is no merit in this revision petition and the same is hereby dismissed. July 30, 2009 (AJAY KUMAR MITTAL) gbs JUDGE
