3/ 07/04/2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner.

The petitioner plaintiff is aggrieved by the

order dated 19.8.2009 rejecting the prayer for

amendment of the plaint in Title Suit No.149/95.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits

that the amendment sought was nothing more than

bringing on record the pleadings in consonance with

description of the property as contained in the Schedule

of the plaint. But he is unable to satisfy this Court from

the amendment application on the record that such an

issue was raised before the trial court.

The trial court in exercise of its discretion has

denied amendment on the ground that it was much

belated and after long fourteen years. On the face of the

order no error can be found on the reasoning. Merely

because a different view in the matter may be possible

shall not be sufficient ground for interference in the

supervisory jurisdiction. Moreso, when the ground

urged before this Court does not appear to have been
2

raised before the trial court which never had the

occasion to consider the same. The Court is not

satisfied that justice demands that the impugned order

dated 19.8.2009 be upset on a ground which was never

urged before the trial court and to which it had no

occasion to apply its mind.

At this stage, leave is sought to withdraw the

application.

The writ application is dismissed as

withdrawn.
