Mr.Amit M. Shete for the Petitioner. None for the Respondent. .......... CORAM : B.R. GAVAI, J. DATE : 15TH FEBRUARY, 2011. P.C. 1 By way of the present petition, the petitioner challenges the order dated 19th November 2010 vide which the the application for amendment of the written statement filed before the learned Joint Civil Judge, Junior Division, Pandharpur below Exh.47 in Regular Civil Suit No. 1 of 2007 came to be rejected. 2 The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that the amendment which was sought to be incorporated was only for amplifying the case of the petitioner. The petitioner seeks to incorporate subsequent events, which according to the petitioner, are necessary for appropriate *2* 30.wp.10291.sxw adjudication of the matter. It is, therefore, submitted that the learned trial Court thus grossly erred in rejecting the application. 3 Admittedly, the application has been moved at the stage when the evidence is over and the suit is fixed for hearing. In any case, it could be seen that if the petitioner exercised due diligence, he could have carried out the amendment prior to the commencement of trial. The view of proviso to Rule 17 of Order 6 of the Civil Procedure Code, no perversity is noticed in the procedure adopted by the learned trial Court. Hence the writ petition is rejected. (B.R. GAVAI, J.) -
