THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE B.PRAKASH RAO CIVIL REVISION PETITION NO.6461 OF 2006 ORDER: The petitioner filed this revision under Article 227 of the Constitution of India, inter alia, assailing the order dated 27.11.2006 in I.A.No.721 of 2006 in O.S.No.107 of 2001 on the file of the Principal Junior Civil Judge, Narasaraopet, in rejecting the petition filed under Order VI Rule 17 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, seeking the Court to permit her to amend the written statement. On considering the submissions made and on perusal of the material available on record, and especially in view of the chequered events and the earlier litigation, which has led to the present proceedings, it is to be noticed that whether the petitioner has come out with this application with a plea of limitation, which the Court below did not find favour with and dismissed mainly on the ground that the proposed amendment will give rise to a new cause of action and change the nature of the case and it is a belated one as the stage of the main suit is at the fag end of the trial. Necessarily, all such restrictions can be imposed as against the plaintiff but not against the defendant. The defendant is at liberty to take all such pleas. I do not find that the Court below is right in rejecting the application. In the circumstances, the Civil Revision Petition is allowed and consequently, the order dated 27.11.2006 in I.A.No.721 of 2006 is set aside. I.A.No.721 of 2006 is allowed. No costs. _________________ (B.PRAKASH RAO, J) 17th June 2010 RRB
