Manish Madhukar Shinde & ors. ... Respondents Mr. V. Saraf i/b. Thakore Jariwala & associates for the petitioners. Mrs. Gauri Godse for the respondents. CORAM:- B.R. GAVAI, J DATED :- MARCH 24, 2011. P.C. The petition challenges purely interlocutory order vide which the application filed by the respondent-plaintiff for amendment of plaint came to be allowed. 2. Shri Saraf, the learned Counsel appearing on behalf of petitioner submits that by way of amendment the entire scope of the original suit has been widened. 2 wp2278.11.sxw 3. Ms. Godse appearing on behalf of respondent-plaintiff vehemently opposes the petition. 4. Admittedly, the trial is yet to commence. By now it is a settled principal of law that the Courts are required to take a liberal view in grant of amendment. The only rider is in view of proviso to Order 6 Rule 17. However, since the trial is yet to commence, the said proviso would not be applicable. 5. From the perusal of schedule of amendment, it cannot be said that the pleadings which are sought to be incorporated by amendment are irrelevant with the issues, raised in the plaint. No case is made out for interference under extraordinary jurisdiction under Article 227 of the Constitution of India. Rejected. (B.R. GAVAI, J)
