Writ Petition No.230 of 2003 (M/S) Hon'ble M.M. Ghildiyal J. Heard Sri D.S. Mehra learned counsel for the petitioner. The petitioner has challenged order dated 17.01.2003 passed by the District Judge, Haridwar rejecting amendment application of the petitioner. The petitioner moved 20 Ka application for amendment in which he has sought amendment to the effect that he is the owner of khasra no.348. The District Judge has rejected amendment application holding that this plea has already been raised by the defendant (petitioner) in para no.20 of his written statement. I have perused the written statement. The suit is of the year 1993. It appears that the amendment application has been moved only to delay the proceedings of the suit. The writ petition is dismissed accordingly. No order as to costs. 31.03.2003 (M.M. Ghildiyal, J.) MPS
