DATED DATED DATED : 24th October, 2008. : 24th October, 2008. : 24th October, 2008. P.C. P.C. P.C. The petitioner is tenant who has challenged the impugned orders whereby the courts below rejected his application to amend his written statement. The plaintiff has already filed his affidavit of examination-in-chief. The reference to; City Civil Suit No.596/1981, agreement of sale dated 25.11.1980 and consent terms dated 16.11.1996, are already part of his written statement. Therefore, the amendment to bring more clarification to those aspects, pending ( 2 ) the appeal against the decree in the said suit including the interlocutory orders passed herein, has rightly been declined and as are not relevant material to be added to decide the controversy in the present matter. The amendment therefore at this stage will delay the proceedings. The parties can rely on the court proceedings referred in the pleadings, specially when those are connected and between the parties. In view of above, I see the reasoning given by the courts below need no interference. The petition is dismissed accordingly. [ ANOOP V.MOHTA,J.] ANOOP V.MOHTA,J.] ANOOP V.MOHTA,J.]
