The above petition takes exception to the order dated 21st June, 2011 passed by the learned Civil Judge, Junior Division, Khalapur by which the application Exh. 67 for amendment in the written statement filed in Reg. Civil Suit No. 21/1993 came to be rejected. The said rejection is on the ground that the facts which were sought to be incorporated by way of amendment were known to the petitioner at the time of filing of the written statement. No reason has been stated as to why the said facts were not incorporated when the written statement was filed. The trial Court was also of the view that considering the nature of the suit and the defence taken, if the amendment is allowed, the same would amount to change in the jpc wp8199-11.sxw 2 nature of the defence of the respondents. 2. In my view, the reasons mentioned by the trial Court are unexceptional and do not merit indulgence in the writ jurisdiction of this Court. Writ Petition is accordingly dismissed. (R. M. SAVANT, J.)
