pmw * 1 * wp7089-11-913 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL WRIT PETITION NO. 7089 OF 2011 Mrs. Harshali Pravin More ..... Petitioner (Orig. Opponent) V/s. Pravin Vijayrao More ..... Respondents (Orig. Applicant) Mr. V.V. Purwant, Advocate for the petitioner. None for the Repsondent. CORAM :- Smt. R.P. SondurBaldota, J. Date : 1st December, 2011. P.C. :- 1. This petition challenges order dated 8th June, 2011 passed by the Court of Civil Judge, Senior Division, Pandharpur on the application for amendment (Exh.34) of the matrimonial petition filed by the respondent. Mr. Purwant draws attention to the averments sought to be included in the petition by way of amendment and submits that it cannot be said in any circumstances that these facts were not within the knowledge of the respondent at the time of filing of the petition. Considering the peculiar nature of the statements in the proposed amendment, it is likely that the respondent was not very comfortable in including the same in the petition. Since, it is only a matter of pmw * 2 * wp7089-11-913 amendment of the pleadings, no prejudice can be caused to the petitioner. The petition is yet to proceed for trial. The respondent is bound to bring in evidence in support of the allegations made by way of amendment to the petition. In the circumstances, I find no infirmity with the impugned order. Hence, the petition is dismissed. Time granted by the trial court to the petitioner to file additional written statement is extended by 4 weeks from today. [Smt. R.P. SondurBaldota, J]
