1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO.3473 OF 2009 Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders or directions and Registrar's orders Court's or Judge's orders. Mr P.S.Dani, for the petitioner. Mr. A.K.Suryavanshi, for Mr D.A.Patil the respondent. CORAM : D.B.BHOSALE, J. DATE : 06/10/2009 PC: Heard learned counsel for the parties. This writ petition is directed against the order dated 3.2.2009 passed by the trial court, allowing the application filed by the repsondent- plaintiff for amendment of the pleadings. It is true, as contended by the petitioner, that the amendment was sought at belated stage. However, for the reasons recorded in the order, I am satisfied that the amendment would not cause any prejudice to the T 2 petitioner. Right of the petitioner to file additional written statement or to further cross-examine witnesses, is kept intact. In the circumstances, I am not inclined to interfere with the impugned order in exercise of the writ jurisdiction of this court under Article 227 of the Constitution of India. The writ petition, therefore, fails and dismissed as such. (D.B.BHOSALE, J.) 3
