MP - -1- WP1546_11 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO. 1546 OF 2011 Balkrishna Dadoba Suryawanshi and others .. Petitioners Versus Govind Baburao Warape .. Respondent Mr. Rahul P. Walvekar for Petitioners. CORAM : B.R. GAVAI, J. MARCH 04, 2011 P. C. : By way of present petition, the petitioner challenges the order dated 21st January 2011 vide which the application filed by the present petitioner for amendment of the written statement came to be rejected. 2. The learned Counsel for the petitioner submits that the only amendment that was sought to be incorporated was that the property was in a co-operative society, and therefore, to implead the said co-operative society as a party to the suit. It is, therefore, submitted that no prejudice would be caused to the plaintiff if such an amendment was allowed. 3. Admittedly, not only the trial is commenced but the evidence is also over. Had the petitioner been diligent enough, the amendment which was sought to be carried, could have been very well brought on record prior to the commencement of trial. 4. In view of the proviso to Order 6, Rule 17 of the Code of Civil Procedure, no error has been found in the order impugned. Hence rejected. (B.R. GAVAI, J)
