CR No.5483 of 2010 [1] IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Civil Revision No. 5483 of 2010 Date of Decision: 8 - 10 - 2010 Sukhdev Raj ....Petitioner v. Hans Raj and others ....Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA *** Present: Mr.Sudhir Paruthi, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr.Sandeep Arora, Advocate for the respondents. *** KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA, J. (ORAL) The present revision petition has been filed by the petitioner seeking setting aside of order dated 16.7.2010 passed by the Rent Controller, Jalandhar, whereby the application of the petitioner filed under Order 6 Rule 17 CPC was dismissed. Counsel for the petitioner has stated that due to a typographical error and inadvertence, the statutory requirement could not be complied with and words `without sufficient cause' could not be incorporated in para 2 sub-para (c) of the ejectment petition. Counsel states that the lapse was not intentional but bona-fidely has happened. Counsel for the respondents states that such an amendment is CR No.5483 of 2010 [2] being introduced after 10 years and petitioner was not diligent enough to pray for such an amendment. After hearing counsel for the parties, this Court is of the view that nobody could be punished for a mistake which has occurred and the words `without sufficient cause' will not change character of the pleadings. Hence, the present petition is accepted. The proposed amendment is allowed. Since the petitioner has come forward at a belated stage, he is saddled with costs of Rs.5,000/-. Counsel for the respondents states that petitioner be not permitted to lead the entire evidence. To allay this apprehension, counsel for the petitioner states that petitioner will only tender into evidence his affidavit after incorporating the amendment permitted by this Court. In view of the statement made by counsel for the petitioner, the petitioner will be permitted only to file an affidavit and as stated by counsel for the respondents, the petitioner will not be further cross-examined.
