WPMS No. 560 of 2003 Hon’ble P.C.Verma, J. Heard Sri T.A. Khan, learned counsel for the petitioner and Sri Manoj Twari, learned counsel for the respondents. The writ petition has been filed by the petitioner to issue order or direction quashing the order dated 17.05.2003 passed by Addl. District Judge, Haldwani in rent control appeal No. 6/99 by which he has rejected the application for amendment during the pendency of the appeal. The Appellate Court has recorded a finding that the amendment was not required in the written statement. The affidavit regarding the construction has been taken on the record during the pendency of the appeal and shall be read as evidence. I do not find any illegality or perversity in the order passed by the Appellate Authority. Therefore, the petition is dismissed. No order as to costs. (P.C.Verma, J.) 12.11.2003 NCM
