IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. C.R.No.6571 of 2010 Date of Decision: 8.10.2010 Jatin Mehta and another. ....... Petitioners. Versus Smt.Ravinder Kaur and others. ....... Respondents. CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE MAHESH GROVER .... Present: Shri S.S.Godara, Advocate for the petitioners. .... 1. Whether Reporters of Local Newspapers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? .... Mahesh Grover,J. The instant petition is directed against order dated 16.9.2010 by which the amendment sought by the petitioners in the written statement filed before the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Fatehabad has been declined. The petitioners, by way of the amendment, seek to introduce a new fact that the motorcycle which was involved in the accident was not being driven by the driver, who was mentioned in the original reply, but was being driven by some one else. These facts were in the knowledge of the petitioners from the very beginning when they appeared and filed their written statement before the Tribunal. They have since led their evidence and at this stage, to permit C.R.No.6571 of 2010 -2- .... them to incorporate a plea which was to their knowledge throughout, is impermissible and not justified under any circumstance, more-so when a crucial right has accrued to the other side on account of default by a person seeking such amendment. Further, as observed earlier, it cannot be believed that the petitioners were not having knowledge of the driver of the motorcycle at the point of time when the accident took place. There is, thus, no ground to exercise revisional jurisdiction of this Court. Dismissed. October 08,2010 ( Mahesh Grover ) “SCM” Judge
