Midas Pre-Cured Treads (P) Ltd vs The Kerala State Road Transport on 4 June, 2008<\/div>\n
       \n\n  \n\n  \n\n \n \n  IN THE HIGH COURT OF KERALA AT ERNAKULAM\n\nCRP.No. 384 of 2008()\n\n\n1. MIDAS PRE-CURED TREADS (P) LTD.,\n                      ...  Petitioner\n\n                        Vs\n\n\n\n1. THE KERALA STATE ROAD TRANSPORT\n                       ...

Justice M.SASIDHARAN NAMBIAR\n\n Dated :04\/06\/2008\n\n O R D E R\n                    M.SASIDHARAN NAMBIAR, J.\n\n                       -------------------------------\n\n                      C.R.P.Nos.384 & 385 of 2008\n\n                       -------------------------------\n\n                      Dated this the 4th June, 2008.\n\n                                O R D E R\n<\/pre>\n
              Petitioner is the plaintiff and          respondent is the<\/p>\n
defendant in the suit.     After closing the evidence and hearing the<\/p>\n
arguments, the suit was posted for judgment to 18.2.2008.<\/p>\n
Thereafter, learned Sub Judge passed the impugned order challenged<\/p>\n
in CRP.No.384\/2008, dated 18.2.2008, which reads as follows:-<\/p>\n
                 “Plaintiff represented by Sri.Sonay John. The
\n           written statement filed by Defendant is at variance
\n           with the argument note filed by Defendant.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
           Invoices    (Photocopy)     are    note    admitted by\n           defendant     in   the   hearing    note.     Hence  a\n<\/pre>\n
           clarification is required from the side of defendant.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
           For    further    hearing.       Evidence    re-opened.
\n           Judgment not pronounced. Call on 25-2-2008.”\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
C.R.P.No.384\/2008 is filed challenging that order contending that<\/p>\n
learned Sub Judge should not have re-opened the evidence, after<\/p>\n
arguments were heard and suit was posted for judgment. After the<\/p>\n
evidence was re-opened, suit was posted to 25.2.2008. It was again<\/p>\n
adjourned and taken up on 3.3.2008. On that day, learned Sub Judge<\/p>\n
CRP.Nos.384 & 385\/2008<\/p>\n
                                  2<\/span><\/p>\n
passed an order stating that counsel appearing for the defendant<\/p>\n
submitted that in the light of the evidence adduced and pleadings,<\/p>\n
defendant has to file an application for receiving additional written<\/p>\n
statement. Holding that it is to be decided whether an additional<\/p>\n
written statement is to be received or not, suit was adjourned to<\/p>\n
15.3.2008 observing that it is not fair and proper to deny the<\/p>\n
defendant a chance of amending the pleadings, in view of the law laid<\/p>\n
down by the Apex Court. On the request of the defendant, suit was<\/p>\n
posted after 7 days. That order is challenged in C.R.P.No.385\/2008.<\/p>\n
                2.   On hearing the learned counsel appearing for the<\/p>\n
petitioner, notice was issued to the respondent and a report was called<\/p>\n
for from the Presiding Officer of the trial court.     The report was<\/p>\n
submitted by the successor of Presiding Officer, as the Presiding Officer<\/p>\n
who passed the impugned orders was subsequently transferred in the<\/p>\n
General Transfer. The report submitted by the Presiding Officer shows<\/p>\n
that on 14.3.2008, respondent filed I.A.No.1608\/2008, an application<\/p>\n
for amendment of the written statement, and, therefore, the case<\/p>\n
stands posted to 28.5.2008. Counsel further submitted that the case<\/p>\n
is thereafter posted to this day.\n<\/p>\n
CRP.Nos.384 & 385\/2008<\/p>\n
                                 3<\/span><\/p>\n
                3. The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner, as<\/p>\n
well as the learned counsel appearing for the respondent were heard.<\/p>\n
                4. The argument of the learned counsel appearing for<\/p>\n
the petitioner is that after closing of the evidence and hearing<\/p>\n
arguments, the suit    was posted for judgment, and at that stage,<\/p>\n
Court is not competent to suo motu re-open the evidence as has been<\/p>\n
done under the impugned order, dated 18.2.2008. He further argued<\/p>\n
that in any case, learned Sub Judge should not have granted an<\/p>\n
opportunity to the defendant to file a petition to receive additional<\/p>\n
written statement, or found that respondent is entitled to amend the<\/p>\n
written statement and in such circumstances, both the orders are to be<\/p>\n
quashed.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
                5. The learned counsel appearing for the respondent<\/p>\n
however submitted that subsequent to the impugned orders,<\/p>\n
respondent filed an application to amend the written statement and it<\/p>\n
is pending, and there is no reason to interfere with the impugned<\/p>\n
orders. The learned counsel for the petitioner pointed out that under<\/p>\n
proviso to Rule 17 of Order VI of Code of Civil Procedure, no<\/p>\n
application for amendment shall be allowed, unless the court comes to<\/p>\n
CRP.Nos.384 & 385\/2008<\/p>\n
                                   4<\/span><\/p>\n
the conclusion that in spite of due diligence, parties could not have<\/p>\n
raised the matter before the commencement of the trial, and as<\/p>\n
against this mandate, the court should not have granted an<\/p>\n
opportunity to the petitioner to amend the written statement.<\/p>\n
                6. Order XVIII of Code of Civil Procedure deals with<\/p>\n
hearing of the suit and examination of witnesses. Rule 2 provides for<\/p>\n
statement and production of evidence. Rule 4 and 5 deals with the<\/p>\n
recording of evidence. Rule 17 of Order XVIII enables the Court at<\/p>\n
any stage of the suit to recall any witness who has been examined and<\/p>\n
to put such questions to him, as the Court thinks fit.      It is after<\/p>\n
recording the evidence as provided under Order XVIII, Court has to<\/p>\n
hear the argument and pronounce the judgment as provided under<\/p>\n
Rule 1 of Order XX of Code of Civil Procedure. When the evidence is<\/p>\n
closed and arguments are heard, and suit is posted for judgment, it<\/p>\n
Court is competent to re-open the suit posted to hear the counsel<\/p>\n
appearing for the parties or seek any clarification. Therefore, if the<\/p>\n
learned Sub Judge found it necessary to have any clarification, he is<\/p>\n
competent to post the case, after re-opening, for hearing the<\/p>\n
arguments.      Therefore, to that extent, there is no illegality or<\/p>\n
irregularity in the order dated 18.2.2008. But the court should not<\/p>\n
CRP.Nos.384 & 385\/2008<\/p>\n
                                   5<\/span><\/p>\n
have re-opened the suit for evidence, unless it is for the purpose of<\/p>\n
exercising the power under Rule 17, and to that extent, order dated<\/p>\n
18.2.2008 is illegal. Therefore, C.R.P.No.384\/2008 is allowed in part,<\/p>\n
quashing the order re-opening the evidence. But the order re-opening<\/p>\n
the suit for hearing arguments seeking further clarification is perfectly<\/p>\n
in order.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
                6. As per the impugned order in C.R.P.No.385\/2008,<\/p>\n
learned Sub Judge has only granted the prayer of the respondent to<\/p>\n
file an application to receive additional written statement. The learned<\/p>\n
Sub Judge did not decide whether the application to be filed to receive<\/p>\n
the additional written statement is to be allowed or not.       In such<\/p>\n
circumstances, I do not find any illegality in the impugned order dated<\/p>\n
3.3.2008. Therefore, that revision is dismissed.<\/p>\n
                  The report of the learned Sub Judge shows that<\/p>\n
because of the       order, dated 3.3.2008, respondent has filed an<\/p>\n
application to amend the written statement under Rule 17 of Order VI<\/p>\n
of Code of Civil Procedure. The fact that petition is filed, does not<\/p>\n
mean that application is to be allowed. It is for the Sub Judge to<\/p>\n
dispose the application, in accordance with law, taking into<\/p>\n
CRP.Nos.384 & 385\/2008<\/p>\n
                                 6<\/span><\/p>\n
consideration     proviso to Rule 17 of Order VI of Code of Civil<\/p>\n
Procedure. The Sub Judge        shall not be carried away by any<\/p>\n
observation in the impugned orders challenged in C.R.P.Nos.384 & 385<\/p>\n
of 2008.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
                                     M.SASIDHARAN NAMBIAR,
