The order allowing 2 the proposed amendment clearly falls within the exercise of the jurisdiction of the Trial Judge under Order 6 Rule 17 of the Code of Civil Procedure. There is no merit in the Petition which is accordingly dismissed. It would be open to the Petitioners to file a reply to the amended written statement within a period of four weeks from today.
