IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA C.R. No.1296 of 2006 AMLENDU DAS & ANR Versus SHRI PRADEEP KARMKAR & ORS ----------- 4/ 20.05.2009 Heard counsel for the parties. Present revision petition challenges the order passed by the Sub Judge I, Purnea dated 3.4.2006 by which the amendment sought to be incorporated by the opposite parties in their written statement, have been allowed. Learned counsel for the petitioners has submitted that it was virtually setting up new pleas by re-drafting the written statement and that was likely to change the very stand of the opposite parties taken earlier. The court is of the opinion that the defendants could be entitled to take multiple pleas and those could not be changing the nature of the suit if those are allowed to be taken. Revision petition is dismissed. Stay granted by order dated 10.11.2008 in the matter stands vacated. The trial court is directed to expedite the hearing of the suit and preferably conclude it within six months time from the date of receipt / production of a copy of this order.
