-1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION Writ Petition No.6530 of 2007 Shri Raosaheb Baburao Chougule ..Petitioner vs. Shri Shankar Bala Kumbhar ..Respondent Shri A.M.Kulkarni for petitioner. CORAM: S.C.DHARMADHIKARI J. CORAM: S.C.DHARMADHIKARI J. CORAM: S.C.DHARMADHIKARI J. 29th February, 2008 29th February, 2008 29th February, 2008 P.C. P.C. P.C. 1. The petitioner is the original defendant in Reg.Civil Suit No.17 of 2000. The original plaintiff/respondent therein applied for amendment (Exh.98) which application has been allowed. The respondent/plaintiff has prayed for amendment to the plaint to incorporate one averment and join some proper parties. These proper parties/defendants are not before me. The original defendant urges that the suit is filed for redemption of the mortgage or in the alternative for a decree of reconveyance without any prayer for possession. Now, the original plaintiff seeks to incorporate some averments so as to avoid any complications in future and obstruction to the claim of possession. -2- 2. After perusing the amendment application and order passed thereon, I see no substance in the contention of Shri Kulkarni that amendment being granted the nature of the suit has undergone any change. Further, his apprehension that some parties have been added although as proper parties but that would only delay the proceedings. To my mind, these apprehensions cannot be the basis for setting aside the order allowing the amendment which, in any event, must be granted by applying liberal principles. Further, all amendments which assist the Court in effectually and completely resolving the controversy so also avoiding multiplicity of the proceedings must be granted. These principles having been applied there is no reason to interfere with the impugned order. However, with a view to take care of the apprehensions of Shri Kulkarni it is directed that the hearing of Reg.Civil Suit No.17 of 2000 is expedited. The petition is disposed of.
