IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Revision No. 348 of 2010 Date of decision: March 01, 2011 Karnail Singh .. Petitioner Vs. Baldev Kaur and others .. Respondents Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice A.N. Jindal Present: Ms. Maninderpreet Kaur, Advocate for Mr. S.S. Slar, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Jasdeep Singh, Advocate for the respondents. A.N. Jindal, J (Oral) This petition assails the order dated 8.12.2009 passed by the Civil Judge (Jr. Division), Samana, whereby the prayer of the petitioner for filing additional written statement was declined. After hearing learned counsel for the parties at length, it transpires that the defendant wants to file additional written statement, who has been impleaded as performa defendant. It has been brought to my notice that earlier the petitioner had adopted the written statement filed by the defendants No.1 and 2. However, there is no prohibition under the law to file written statement and the only safeguard to be taken is that the written statement to be filed may not be containing inconsistent pleas to the previous written statement. However, there is no bar to mention the additional pleas. Similar observations were made in case Mohammed Ali and another vs. Khutejatul Kubra and others 2002 (3) RCR (Civil) 114. Resultantly, this petition is allowed, impugned order is set aside and the petitioner is permitted to file additional written statement. March 01, 2011 (A.N. Jindal) deepak Judge
