Methuku @ Nyayam Upendra ..... PETITIONER AND Methuku Ram Sathaiah and 2 others. .....RESPONDENTS THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE B.SESHASAYANA REDDY CIVIL REVISION PETITION No.4732 of 2009 O R D E R: This Civil Revision petition is directed against the order dated 10- 09-2009 passed in I.A.No.307 of 2009 in O.S.No.1 of 2006, on the file of the Senor Civil Judge, Jangon, whereby and whereunder, the learned Senior Civil Judge dismissed the application of the petitioner-plaintiff, filed under Order VI Rule 17 and read with Section 151 CPC, for amendment of the plaint. 2. Heard the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and perused the order under impugned in the revision. 3. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the nature of the relief sought for does not alter even the petitioner is permitted to amend the pleadings. A further submission has been made that no prejudice causes to the respondents by permitting the petitioner to amend the pleadings. 4. I have gone through the order under impugned in the revision. The learned Senior Civil Judge dismissed the application filed by the petitioner seeking amendment of the plaint, on the ground of latches. It is apparent from the record that the petitioner came up with an application for amendment of plaint under Order VI Rule 17 CPC, when the case stood posted for arguments. The very filing of the application at the stage of arguments can definitely be stated as a belated one. No explanation has been given by the petitioner for not moving the application at the earliest point of time. The learned Senior Civil Judge, after referring the judgment of the Supreme Court in Ajendraprasadji N. pande and another Vs. Swami Keshavprakeshdasji N. and others[1], proceeded to dismiss the application filed by the petitioner. 5. I do not see any irregularity or illegality warranting interference of this Court in the impugned order in exercising powers under Article 227 of the Constitution of India. 6. Accordingly, the Civil Revision Petition is dismissed at the admission stage. No costs. _____________________________ Justice B. Seshasayana Reddy 21st October, 2009. kvr [1] AIR 2007 S.C. 806
