1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY BENCH AT AURANGABAD WRIT PETITION NO. 6550 OF 2009 Smt. Anagharani Purushottam Joshi .. petitioner Versus Chief Executive Officer and others ..Respondents. --- Mr. R.B. Deshmukh, Advocate for petitioner. CORAM : B.R. GAVAI,J. DATE : 10th November, 2009. ORAL ORDER :- 1] By way of present petition, the petitioner challenges the order dated 4th August, 2009, vide which the application filed by the present petitioner for amendment of the plaint came to be rejected. 2] Shri Deshmukh, learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner submits that the amendment was necessary to meet the contention of the defendant No.5, who was impleaded as a party defendant in 2006, on his own application. He further submits that the suit is filed prior to amendment to the CPC in 2002 and as such, the learned trial court has grossly erred in relying on the proviso to Order VI Rule 17 of C.P.C. 3] The learned trial court has rejected the application on the following grounds:- 2 [i] That the application has been filed at a belated stage; [ii] That the amendment is not concerned with the main reliefs in the suit. 4] I find that the discretion exercised by the learned trial court, cannot be said to have been exercised in a perverse manner,so as to warrant interference in the extraordinary jurisdiction under Article 227 of the Constitution of India. Hence, the writ petition is rejected. [B.R. GAVAI,J.] Grt/-
