IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. C.R. No. 1432 of 2011 Date of decision: 28.7.2011 Bakhshish Singh … Petitioner versus State of Punjab and others … Respondents CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE ARVIND KUMAR Present: Mr. G.S.Dhaliwal, Advocate, for the petitioner Mr. B.S.Sra, Addl. A.G.Punjab ... ARVIND KUMAR, J: The present petitioner is the plaintiff in the suit for declaration claiming retrial benefits, titled Bakhshish Singh v. State of Punjab and others. He is aggrieved with order dated 9.2.2011 passed by the Civil Judge(Junior Division), Fatehgarh Sahib, by dint of which his application for amendment of the plaint has been dismissed. Hence, this revision. Heard. The present petitioner seeks amendment in paras 2 and 3 of the plaint. In para 2, plaintiff wants amendment, namely, the word “paper” be read as “form” and by deleting word “pension”, word ”gratuity and computation of pay” be read and in para 3, he wants to replace word “pay” with “pension” and the date from “28.2.1998” to “15.9.1998” and so on. It looks that certain dates are to be changed which are relevant for proper adjudication of the case. The Court may at any stage of the proceedings allow either party to alter or amend pleadings in such a manner and on such terms as may be just and all such amendments shall be made as may be necessary for the purpose of determining the real questions in controversy between the parties. The dominant object to allow amendment in the pleadings liberally is to avoid multiplicity of proceedings. Unless it C.R. No. 1432 of 2011 -2- causes an irreparable loss and injustice to the other side, the Court should adopt liberal approach and not a hyper-technical approach. The amendment so sought does not involve change of cause of action. It does not take away any vested rights in favour of either parties. The impugned order indicates that the evidence is yet to commence. In back-drop of these facts, the present revision petition is allowed, impugned order is set aside and the plaintiff is permit to amend the plaint as prayed for.
