1 mpt IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY APPELLATE SIDE WRIT PETITION NO.2638 of 2010 Alim Abdul Rehman Shaikh & ors. ... Petitioners versus Madhukar Patilbua Shinde & ors. ... Respondents ... Mr. P.S.Dani i/b Sandeep Shinde for the petitioners. CORAM : D.G. KARNIK, J. DATED : 12th July 2010 P.C. 1. By this petition, petitioner challenges the judgment and order dated 18 February 2010 passed by the learned Civil Judge, Jr. Division, Nashik allowing the application of the respondent plaintiff for amendment of the plaint under Order 6 Rule 17 of the Code of Civil Procedure. Apart from the fact that the order is interlocutory requiring no interference, in my view, even otherwise this is not a fit case in exercise of writ jurisdiction under Article 227 of the Constitution of India. 2. The original suit filed in December 2008. The application for amendment was filed on 13 August 2009 i.e. within 8 months and at the earliest possible opportunity. Learned counsel for the petitioner 2 submitted that though there is no delay in filing of an application for amendment, the amendment is extensive and alters the original case of the petitioner. The length of the amendment cannot be a ground for rejecting of the application for amendment if there is no other cause for rejecting the application for amendment. In my view, since there is no other good cause for rejecting the application for amendment, the trial Judge committed no error. Writ Petition is rejected summarily. 3. Petitioner however shall have a liberty to file additional written statement within 60 days hereof. (D.G. KARNIK,J.)
