1 wp 1257-2011.sxw IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO. 1257 OF 2011 Shri Rajendra Aadappa Dhulasawant & Ors. ..Petitioners vs. Shri Suresh Aadappa Dhulasawant & Ors. ..Respondents Mr.Manoj A. Patil for the Petitioners. Mr.T.S. Ingle for Respondent No.12. Shri A.I. Patel, AGP for the State. CORAM:- B.R. GAVAI, J DATED :- MARCH 23, 2011. P.C. 1 The respondent no.12 is the only contesting respondent/defendant before the learned trial court. The learned AGP appears for State. The petitioner challenges the order dated 27th October, 2010 vide which the application filed by the present petitioner/plaintiff for amendment of the plaint came to be rejected. 2 Undisputedly, even the issues are not yet framed. The amendment which is sought to be incorporated is before the 2 wp 1257-2011.sxw commencement of trial. It is settled principle of law that the Courts have to take a liberal view in the matter of grant of amendment. In that view of the matter, I find that the learned trial court has erred in rejecting the application. 3 Hence, Rule is made absolute in terms of prayer clauses (a) and (b). Taking into consideration the fact the suit is of 2004, the hearing of the said suit is expedited, the learned trial court is directed to dispose of the suit, as expeditiously as possible and in any case, within a period of one year from today.
