IN THE HIGH COURT OF UTTARAKHAND AT NAINITAL Writ Petition No. 409 of 2009 (M/S) Jagdish Narain Mehra. ……. Petitioner Versus Sri Ranjay Pratap. …….. Respondent Mr. Arvind Vashishth, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Sharad Sharma, Advocate for the respondent. Hon’ble V.K. Gupta, C.J. After hearing the detailed arguments of the learned counsel for the parties and on perusal of the record, I feel satisfied that, in the facts and circumstances of the case, the Application of the petitioner for amendment of the Written Statement should have been allowed because the amendment prayed for was necessary for proper adjudication of the issues involved in the case. The event, which the petitioner wanted to bring on record through the amendment, was a subsequent development and, therefore also, the learned court below ought to have allowed the Amendment Application. In the result, this writ petition is allowed. The impugned order is set aside. The petitioner’s Amendment Application is accordingly also allowed. (V.K. Gupta, C.J.) 24.03.2009 G
