BHANU CIVIL REVISION PETITION NOS.3528 AND 3529 OF 2009 COMMON ORDER: These revisions are filed against the orders, dated 24-03-009, in I.A.No.1890 of 2008 in O.S.No.82 of 2002 and in I.A.No.1888 of 2008 in O.S.No.75 of 2002, on the file of the Senior Civil Judge, Narsapur. 2. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioners contended that after the entire evidence is completed and when the case is coming up for arguments, the present applications were filed only to drag on the proceeding, that the case of the respondent herein does not fall within the parameters of Order VI Rule 16 CPC and hence, he prays to set aside the impugned orders. 3. On the other hand, learned counsel appearing for the respondent herein contended that in view of subsequent developments in the suit, the pleadings in the written statement have to be struck out and that can be exercised by the plaintiff at any point of time and hence, he prays to dismiss the revisions. 4. Order VI Rule 16 CPC reads thus: “16. Striking out pleadings:- The Court may at any stage of the proceedings order to be stuck out or amended any matter in any pleading- (a) which may be unnecessary, scandalous, frivolous or vexatious, or (b) which may tend to prejudice embarrass or delay the fair trial of the suit, or (c) which is otherwise an abuse of the process of the Court. 5. The underlying object of the rule is to ensure that every party to a suit presents his pleading is an intelligible form without causing embrassment to his adversary. The Court has power to strike off pleading which tends to prejudice, embrass or delay fair trial of the suit. If there is undue delay on the part of applicant in making an application for striking off pleading of the opposite party, the Court may reject it. 6. If the case of the respondent falls within the above categories, then the scandalous, vexatious or unnecessary pleadings can be struck off. Objection to pleading has to be taken at the earliest point of time. No doubt, the power under Order VI Rule 16 CPC can be invoked at any stage of the proceedings, but considering the peculiar facts and circumstances of the case that the entire evidence has been completed and the case is coming up for arguments, the respondent herein can as well raise objection with regard to striking out of pleadings as unnecessary while advancing arguments in the main suit itself. 7. Accordingly, the Civil Revision Petitions are allowed giving liberty to the respondent herein to raise such objection at the time of advancing arguments in the main suit. No order as to costs. ________________ K.C. BHANU, J DATED:28.10.2010 Hsd
