IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA C.R. No.462 of 2009 KUNTI DEVI @ BINDA DEVI & ORS Versus JOTA DEVI & ORS ----------- 4 08.04.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners. This revision application has been filed by the defendant against the order dated 16.07.2008 passed by Additional Munsif – II Bhabua in Title Suit No. 163/1990/64/04 by which the learned Munsif has allowed the amendment application of the plaintiff on payment of cost. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the plaintiff has filed this amendment application after much delay and without any reasonable explanation for acceptance of the same. From the amendment application annexed as Annexure – 2, it does appear that sufficient explanation for the delay in filing the amendment has not been given. However, since the amendment has been allowed by the learned trial court in the interest of justice, no interference is called for by this Court in the impugned order. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the defendants has filed the written statement. However, in view of the amendment the defendant shall be at liberty to file additional written statement and lead further evidence if necessary on the amended pleading of the plaint of the plaintiff. With the above observations, this revision application is dismissed. Kundan (J. N. Singh, J.) - 2 -
