ORAL ORAL ORAL JUDGMENT:- JUDGMENT:- JUDGMENT:- ( 2 ) . The Petitioners-Plaintiffs have challenged the impugned order, whereby, their Application for amendment of the plaint was rejected. The issues are just framed, in the main matter. It is pending thereafter for further proceedings. 2. In para 11, there is reference made to the proceedings with regard to the Urban Land Ceiling Act. By this amendment plaintiffs want to bring on record the relevant and detailed material with regard to the same and also challenging the same after more than practically 25 years. At this stage, without going into the merits of the matter, keeping all points open, including limitation and the maintainability of such prayers at the instance of Plaintiffs, and all related aspects, I am inclined to grant this amendment application. 3. Therefore, without observing anything further, in the interest of justice, to give full opportunity to the Petitioners, this amendment application is allowed. The Petitioners to take steps on or before 05/12/2008. ( 3 ) 4. It is necessary to note that the present Writ Petition is pending since 2003 in this Court against this order. That resulted into halting the main suit itself. The most of the parties are senior citizens, therefore, in the interest of justice, I am inclined to direct the trial Court to proceed with the trial expeditiously preferably within 6 months. The parties to co-operate accordingly. 5. The Petition is allowed with no order as to costs. ( ANOOP V. MOHTA, J.) ANOOP V. MOHTA, J.) ANOOP V. MOHTA, J.)
