Mr.C.R.S.Mishra i/by Pt.C.R.S.Mishra & Co., Adv. For the petitioner. Mrs.M.H.Mhatre, APP For the State. CORAM: A.P.DESHPANDE, J. 12/3/08 PC: The present petitioner moved an application before the Metropolitan Magistrate under sections 143, 145 and 148 of the Merchant Shipping Act, 1958 and claimed a sum of Rs.2,51,144/- from the respondents. The trial Court partly allowed the complaint and decreed the claim to the extent of Rs.1,02,440/-. As per the directions of the trial Court the respondent No.3 deposited said amount in the Court. Aggrieved by that part of the order which rejected the balance claim a revision was carried before the City Civil Court. The City Civil Court allowing the revision granted the entire claim made by the applicant in his application under section 143 read with section 145 of the act. The order clearly observes that the complainant cannot be granted anything more than what has been claimed in the complaint itself. The claim made in the complaint has been granted in its entirety. 1 2. Learned counsel for the petitioner has contended that while referring to particulars of claim in the complaint a typographical error has cropped in and thus the claim was wrongly shown to be in the sum of Rs.2,51,444/-. Parties to the proceedings have contested the claim on the basis of the particulars of claim furnished in the complaint. The petitioner cannot now be permitted to enhance the claim beyond what is reflected in the complaint. Perused the judgment. Same does not call for any interference. In the result writ petition is summarily dismissed. 12.3.08 2
