THE HON’BLE Ms. JUSTICE G. ROHINI Writ Petition No. 19671 of 2009 Dated: 22.02.2010 Between: Varikunti Nirmala Jyothi … Petitioner And The Sri Gowri Cooperative Society Ltd., Visakhapatnam and 4 others. … Respondents THE HON'BLE Ms. JUSTICE G.ROHINI Writ Petition No. 19671 of 2009 O R D E R : This writ petition is filed seeking a writ of certiorari to call for the record relating to the order passed by the A.P. Cooperative Tribunal, Visakhapatnam dated 20.03.2009 in I.A.No.180 of 2008 in O.P.No.130 of 2007 and to quash the same being arbitrary and illegal. I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner. The material on record shows that O.P.No.130 of 2007 was filed by the 1st respondent herein under Section 37(1) of the Mutually Aided Cooperative Societies Act, 1995 for recovery of certain amounts allegedly due from the petitioner. The petitioner filed his counter and during the enquiry P.W.1 was examined on behalf of the 1st respondent-society. At that stage I.A.No.180 of 2008 was filed by the 1st respondent seeking amendment of the pleadings in the O.P. Though the writ petitioner opposed the same, the Tribunal below by order, dated 20.03.2009, allowed I.A.No.180 of 2008 thereby permitting the amendment of the pleadings as sought by the 1st respondent-society. Aggrieved by the same, the present writ petition is filed. It is apparent from the averments made in I.A.No.180 of 2008 that the amendment was only with regard to the repayments said to have been made by the writ petitioner. Ultimately, it is for the parties to establish their respective claims by producing the relevant evidence. Since by allowing the amendment the nature of the claim has not been altered nor a new cause of action is introduced, and more over no prejudice is caused to the other side, the Tribunal below cannot be said to have committed any error. Hence, the interference by this Court is not warranted on any ground whatsoever. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed. No costs. _____________ G. ROHINI, J. Date: 22.02.2010 KLP
