IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Revision No.7538 of 2010 (O&M) Date of decision: 19.11.2010 Kuldip Singh @ Gurdip Singh ....Petitioner Versus Gurbachan Kaur ....Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE ALOK SINGH Present: - Sandeep Arora, Adv. 1.Whether Reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2.Whether to be referred to the Reporters or not? 3.Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? ***** ALOK SINGH, J (ORAL) Present petition is filed challenging the order dated 23.8.2010 passed by the appellate Court/Additional District Judge, Jalandhar, thereby rejecting the application of the defendant/petitioner to carry out amendment in the statement during the first appeal stage. Learned appellate Court vide impugned judgment has observed that application seeking permission to sue forma-pauperis and written statement filed by Gurbachan Kaur having two different thumb impressions could very well be taken before the trial Court. Learned appellate Court further observed that application is moved with mala fide intention to cause unnecessary delay in the hearing of the appeal. In the opinion of this Court, merit of the written statement or merit of the application under Order 33 CPC would not be affected adversely once Gurbachan Kaur-plaintiff is admitting her thumb impressions on both the applications as well as written statement. Amendment sought seems to be unnecessary and irrelevant for deciding the appeal. Dismissed. (Alok Singh) Judge November 19, 2010 R.S.
