Civil Revision No. 4249 of 2009 (1) IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Revision No. 4249 of 2009 Date of Decision: 30.7.2009 Jaswant Singh and another ......Appellants Versus Gurbachan Kaur and another .......Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE HEMANT GUPTA. 1. Whether Reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? Present: Shri Vijay Sharma, Advocate, for the petitioner. HEMANT GUPTA, J. (Oral). The plaintiff is in revision aggrieved against the order passed by the learned trial Court on 19.3.2009, permitting the defendants to amend the written statement on payment of Rs.1000/- as costs. The defendants have sought to amend written statement to clarify the pleadings already raised. The learned trial Court has found that the amendment is clarificatory in nature as the defendants are not changing their stand in the written statement and that for any delay caused, the plaintiff can be compensated with costs. Learned counsel for the petitioner has vehemently argued that in terms of the amended provisions of Order 6 Rule 17 CPC, the amendment can be allowed only if the trial Court comes to the conclusion that inspite of due diligence, the parties could not have raised the matter before the Civil Revision No. 4249 of 2009 (2) commencement of the trial. Reliance is also placed upon Vidyabai & others v. Padmalatha & Anr., 2009(1) RCR (Civil) 763. I do not find any merit in the argument raised by the learned counsel for the petitioner. The learned trial Court has rightly found that the amendment sought is clarificatory in nature, which is not affecting the rights of the parties. For the delay caused, the plaintiff has been duly compensated. Consequently, I do not find any patent illegality or irregularity in the impugned order, which may warrant interference by this Court in exercise of its revisional jurisdiction. Hence, the present petition is dismissed. (HEMANT GUPTA) JUDGE 30-07-2009 ds
