CR No.257 of 2005 : 1 In the High Court of Punjab and Haryana at Chandigarh Date of decision: 21.10.2009 Umed Singh Vs. Kamlesh and others CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE PERMOD KOHLI Present: None for the parties. -- This revision is direction against the order dated 11.11.2004 passed by the learned Civil Judge (Junior Division), Meham, rejecting the application of the defendant for amendment of the written statement. Respondent-deceased Sat Narain, filed a suit against the present petitioner in the trial Court. During the pendency of the suit, the petitioner filed an application under Order 6 Rule 17 of the Code of Civil Procedure for amendment of the written statement. It was alleged that at the time of the filing of the written statement, the defendant could not take the plea that defendant No.2-applicant was the bonafide purchaser of the suit land from defendant No.1. The trial Court rejected the application, primarily, on the ground that the amendment was sought after 11 years of the filing of the suit and even when the witnesses of the defendants were also examined. The trial Court also held that the facts alleged in the application were also in the knowledge of the applicant. It was accordingly held that if the application is allowed at this stage, it will change the very nature of the CR No.257 of 2005 : 2 suit. I have perused the impugned order. The only ground for seeking amendment at this belated stage was that the facts were not in the knowledge of the applicant- petitioner herein. However, no details has been given in the application as to when and how these facts came in the knowledge of the defendant-petitioner herein. In view of the above, I do not find any illegality in the impugned order. The present revision petition is misconceived and is hereby dismissed with no order as to costs. 21.10.2009 (PERMOD KOHLI) BLS JUDGE
