J U D G M E N T This petition is filed under Article 227 of the Constitution of India challenging Ext.P3 order passed by Munsiff in I.A.No.533 of 2008 in O.S.No.320 of 2006, an application filed under Rule 17 of Order VI of Code of Civil Procedure, seeking permission to amend the plaint. Learned Munsiff under Ext.P3 order elaborately considered the question and dismissed the application. 2. On hearing the learned counsel and on going through Ext.P3 order, I do not find any illegality or irregularity in the impugned order warranting interference. 3. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner then submitted that petitioner may be permitted to withdraw the suit with liberty to file a fresh suit. It is not for this Court to decide whether such a permission is to be granted to the W.P.(C) No.19822/2008 2 petitioner or not. Petitioner is at liberty to file an application for permission to withdraw the suit with liberty to file a fresh suit, as provided under Order XXIII Rule 1(3) of Code of Civil Procedure, before the trial court. If such an application is filed, learned Munsiff to pass appropriate orders in the application, in accordance with law. Petition is dismissed. M.SASIDHARAN NAMBIAR, JUDGE nj.
