CR No. 4073 of 2000 -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CR No. 4073 of 2000 Date of decision:- 27.9.2010 Jagan Nath Halwai and others ......petitioners vs. Mahant Lal Parkash Chela and others ......respondents CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE HEMANT GUPTA Present: - Mr. Sukhbir Singh, Advocate for the petitioner Mr. Anil Kheshtarpal, Advocate for respondent. HEMANT GUPTA, J (ORAL) Challenge in the present revision petition is to the order passed by the learned trial Court on 29.8.2000 whereby respondents were permitted to amend its objections filed to object the award being made the Rule of Court under Section 30 of the Arbitration Act, 1940. The present petitioner moved an application for making such award as Rule of the Court, whereas respondent No.1 herein filed objections to the said award. It is the said objection which was sought to be amended by respondent No. 1 which has been allowed by learned trial Court. The amendment in the objections was resisted primarily on the ground that the objections to the award are beyond the period of limitation and that the amendment is sought merely to fill up the lacuna. Therefore, respondent No.1 cannot be permitted to amend the objections filed. CR No. 4073 of 2000 -2- The learned counsel for respondent No. 1 states that the respondent is not to lead any evidence in respect of the proposed amendments. Since, no evidence is to be led on the basis of objections which are sought to be introduced by way of amendment, it cannot be said that respondent No. 1 wishes to delay the proceedings. Since, the objections are legal in nature and arises out of the proceedings before the Civil Court, I do not find any illegality or material irregularity in the order passed by learned trial Court which may warrant interference in exercise of the revisional jurisdiction of this Court. However, it may be clarified that such amendment allowed by learned trial Court will not permit the respondent to lead any evidence in respect of the amendment sought as stated by the respondent before this Court. Revision stands disposed of. (HEMANT GUPTA) JUDGE 27.9.2010 preeti
