S.B.CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO.3010/2009 (Janak Pandit vs. Shri Laxmi Kant & Ors.) DATE OF ORDER : 1/5/2009 HON'BLE DR.JUSTICE VINEET KOTHARI Mr.J.P.Bhardwaj, for the petitioner. Mr.Suresh Shrimali, for the respondent. Heard learned counsels. By the impugned order dated 26/2/2009, the learned first appellate court in appeal filed by the defendant against the eviction decree rejected the application of the defendant seeking amendment in the written statements at the appellate stage to the effect that in view of the certificate issued by Arya Samaj, Abu Raod that Laxmi Kant was not the tenant of Arya Samaj, Abu Road and, therefore, the defendant wanted to place on record of the court that there was no bonafide need of the plaintiff for eviction of the suit premises. Having considered the submissions made at the bar and having perused the impugned order, this Court is satisfied that at the appellate stage, the learned appellate court was justified in not allowing such amendment in the pleadings in view of such subsequent development. This Court finds no error in the impugned order and the writ petition is found to be devoid of merit and same is accordingly dismissed. (DR.VINEET KOTHARI), J. item no.3 baweja/-
