Respondents * * * CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE M.M.S.BEDI 1. Whether reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2. Whether to be referred to the Reporter? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? * * * PRESENT Mr.Vikram Singh, Advocate, for the petitioners. Mr.V.K.Singla, Advocate, for the respondents. M.M.S. BEDI, J. (ORAL) Vide impugned order dated 16.01.2009, the trial Court has allowed the amendment of the plaint filed by the plaintiff- respondent to convert the suit for recovery of Rs.13 lacs to a suit for specific performance where the relief of specific performance had impliedly been relinquished at initial stage. The trial Court has . . . 1 C.R.No.2820 of 2009 observed that amendment if allowed will not change the basic structure of the suit. The observations made by the trial Court seem to be contrary to the law laid down by this Court in Ganda Singh Vs. Rampal Singh, 1993 (2) P.L.R., page 629 and Rajinder Mohan Vs. Manohar Lal, 1999 (1) P.L.R., page 314, wherein it has been categorically laid down that a plaintiff having filed a suit only for recovery of money and for interest is precluded to convert the suit on a later date into a suit for possession by way of specific performance by seeking amendment of the plaint. The revision petitions, thus, deserves to be allowed. Ordered accordingly. The impugned order dated 16.01.2009, allowing the amendment of the plaint is hereby set aside. The amendment application of the plaintiff-respondent is disallowed. Parties are directed to appear before the trial Court on the date already fixed. (M.M.S.BEDI) JUDGE December 07, 2009. rka . . . 2
