NARASIMHA REDDY CIVIL REVISION PETITION No.5966 OF 2010 Between: K. Venkata Shiva Reddy ..... PETITIONER AND M. V. Krishna Reddy ....RESPONDENT The Court made the following: THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY CIVIL REVISION PETITION No.5966 OF 2010 ORDER: The petitioner is the defendant in O.S.No.27 of 2006 filed by the respondent for recovery of certain amount on the strength of the promissory note. The trial of the suit has commenced and recording of the evidence is in progress. The petitioner filed I.A.No.169 of 2010 with a prayer to permit him to file additional written statement, incorporating the plea as to certain dates etc., in the promissory note. The application was opposed by the respondent. The trial Court dismissed the I.A. through order, dated 22.11.2010. The same is challenged in this revision petition. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner. The petitioner filed an application to permit him to file additional written statement. In a way, he wants to add to what is already contained in the written statement filed by him. The additional pleadings can be delivered only when events that were not in the knowledge of the parties or those which have occurred subsequent to filing of the suit, are to be brought to the notice of the Court. In the instant case, no such plea is raised. For all practical purposes, the petitioner wants to amend the written statement. That cannot be permitted through filing of additional written statement much less through an application filed under Order - VIII Rule - 9 CPC. The trial Court has taken correct view of the matter. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that his client may be permitted to pursue the remedy under Order - VI Rule - 17 CPC. In case the petitioner files an application under that provision, the trial Court shall consider the same on its own merits. The Civil Revision Petition is, accordingly, dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. ___________________________ L. NARASIMHA REDDY, J December 27, 2010 MD THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.
