CRP 360/2010 BEFORE HON’BLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE MR. MADAN B. LOKUR The petitioner is aggrieved by an order dated 13.7.2010 passed by the le arned Munsiff, Bilasipara in Title Suit No. 55/09. The petitioner/ defendant sought to file an additional written statement before the learned Trial Court bringing on record the fact that a deed of corri gendum has been executed changing the Dag number of the property mentioned in th e sale deed No. 1617/74 from 56 to 226 under Khatian No. 7. This request made by the petitioner/ defendant in the Trial Court was rejected on the ground that it would take the plaintiff by surprise and cause prejudice to her as she has alre ady adduced evidence on affidavit. The petitioner’s written statement merely brings on record the fact that a corrigendum has been executed. I do not see how this can cause any prejudice to the plaintiff. On the contrary, it brings the correct picture on record. Under these circumstances, there does not appear to be any reason not to allow the petitioner/ defendant to file an additional written statement in the Trial Court. It may also be noted that the written statement was filed only a few mon ths before the proposed additional written statement. There is therefore no atte mpt on the part of the petitioner in delaying the suit. Learned counsel for the respondent has no objection if the additional wr itten statement is brought on record subject, however, to payment of costs. That being the position, I set aside the impugned order dated 13.7.2010 and direct the additional written statement to be brought on record subject to p ayment of costs of Rs. 1000/- payable by the petitioner/ defendant to the respon dent/plaintiff. The costs be paid within three weeks from today. The Title Suit be listed before the learned Munsiff, Bilasipara on 10.12 .2010, on which date the parties should appear. The Trial Court records be sent back immediately. The petition stands disposed of.
