HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V. ESWARAIAH C.R.P. No. 400 of 2010 DATED: 15.07.2011 Between: Gade Sambi Reddy .. Petitioner/defendant And D. Vasudeva Rao .. Respondent/plaintiff O R D E R:- This Civil Revision Petition is directed against the order dated 16.12.2009 made in I.A. No. 826 of 2009 in O.S. No. 234 of 2007 on the file of the Additional Senior Civil Junior Civil Judge, Narsaraopet, Guntur District, whereby the application filed by the defendant to permit him to amend his written statement, was dismissed with costs. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and perused the order under revision. The revision petitioner is the defendant against whom suit in O.S. No. 234 of 2007 was instituted by the respondent-plaintiff for recovery of money on the foot of two promissory notes. After the evidence of the plaintiff was closed, the suit was posted for the defendant’s evidence. It was at that stage the defendant filed the present application under Order 6 Rule 17 C.P.C. seeking to permit him to amend the written statement alleging that the entire suit amount was paid which seems to be a concocted story. The trial Court dismissed the application on the ground that admittedly, the said application was filed much after the commencement of trial and that too, after the evidence of the plaintiff was closed. Therefore, I do not see any infirmity, legal or otherwise, in the impugned order. Hence, the Civil Revision Petition is devoid of merits, and the same is accordingly dismissed. No order as to costs. ________________ V. ESWARAIAH, J 15.07.2011 bcj
