THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE G.V. SEETHAPATHY CIVIL REVISION PETITION No.3349 OF 2010 ORDER: This civil revision petition is directed against the order dated 30.12.2009 in I.A.No.1490 of 2009 in O.S.No.730 of 2006, on the file of the Junior Civil Judge, Medchal, Ranga Reddy District, whereunder the said application filed under Order VI Rule 17 CPC, was dismissed. 2. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner. None appears for the respondent. Perused the record. 3. The petitioner herein filed the suit against the respondent/defendant for recovery of certain amount allegedly due. The respondent filed a written statement contesting the suit. After settling necessary issues, the trial of the suit has commenced. In the course of evidence, PW1/the plaintiff filed an application I.A.No.1490 of 2009, seeking to amend the cause title of the complaint, by describing the defendant as M/s Reddy & Reddy Imports and Exports, represented by its Managing Partner G. Ramakrishna Reddy, instead of M/s Reddy & Reddy Imports Private Limited, represented by its Managing Director G. Ramakrishna Reddy, as shown in the plaint. 4. The learned counsel for the petitioner/plaintiff would submit that the defendant is only a partnership firm, but not a private limited company and the said G. Ramakrishna Reddy is its Managing Partner, but not Managing Director. According to him, due to oversight and inadvertence, the description of defendant was incorrectly mentioned in the plaint as if the defendant is a private limited company and the said G. Ramakrishna Reddy is its Managing Director, though, in fact, the defendant is only a partnership firm and G. Ramakrishna Reddy is its Managing Partner. In the written statement also, the defendant has stated that G. Ramakrishna Reddy is the Managing Partner but not Managing Director of the defendant firm. Form H-Certificate of Export, which is stated to have been issued by the defendant to the plaintiff, also would show that the defendant is M/s Reddy & Reddy Imports and Exports, but not a company. The proposed amendment does not alter the nature and character of the suit, nor does it cause any prejudice to the defence of the respondent- defendant, in as much as even according to the respondent, the defendant is only a firm and G. Ramakrishna Reddy is its Managing Partner. In the affidavit filed in support of the application, it is stated that due to mistake and inadvertence, the defendant was incorrectly described in the plaint. 5. In the circumstances, it is considered that the plaintiff can be permitted to amend the cause title as proposed in the interest of justice. The impugned order, dismissing the application is, therefore, held unsustainable and the same is accordingly, set aside. 6. In the result, the civil revision petition is allowed. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________________ G.V. SEETHAPATHY, J 31st October, 2011 KSM
