Mr. R.R.Nagori )
\nMr. R.K.Thanvi )for the petitioners.\n<\/p>\n
Mr. Rakesh Arora , for the respondents.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
1.    This writ petition is directed against order dated 16.5.07<\/p>\n
passed by the learned Additional District Judge(F.T.), No.2, Pali<\/p>\n
in Civil Original Case No.16\/07, whereby an application preferred<\/p>\n
under Order VI Rule 17 of Civil Procedure Code, 1908( in short<\/p>\n
“CPC” hereinafter) by the plaintiff-respondent, seeking leave to<\/p>\n
amend the plaint has been allowed and the amended plaint has<\/p>\n
been taken on record.\n<\/p>\n
2.    The respondent-plaintiff filed a suit for the cancellation of<\/p>\n
sale deed and general power of attorney against the petitioners-<\/p>\n
defendants. Precisely, the case set out by the plaintiff is that the<\/p>\n
suit property was jointly owned, possessed and used                 by the<\/p>\n
plaintiff and the defendant no.1, however, on the basis of alleged<\/p>\n
general of power of attorney executed by the plaintiff in favour<\/p>\n
of defendant no. 1, the entire suit property has been sold by the<\/p>\n
defendant no. 1 in favour of his mother , the defendant no.2.<\/p>\n
The plaintiff claims that she has never executed the alleged

\n                                                                      GOYAL &ANR.\n<\/p>\n
                                              (S.B.CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO.5475\/07)
\n                                      2<\/span><\/p>\n
general power of attorney dated 1.4.06 in favour of the<\/p>\n
defendant no.1.\n<\/p>\n
3.    The suit is being contested by the defendants by filing a<\/p>\n
written statement . The defendants have denied that the house<\/p>\n
and hospital were purchased through a registered sale deed from<\/p>\n
Smt. Indira Devi. According to the defendants, only house was<\/p>\n
purchased jointly by the plaintiff and the defendant no.1,<\/p>\n
however, the hospital was established in the said house by the<\/p>\n
defendant no.1 alone by installing valuable machines. It is<\/p>\n
further   averred   that   in   the       written   statement      that    after<\/p>\n
purchasing the house, the necessary changes and developments<\/p>\n
were made and the Eye hospital was also established in the suit<\/p>\n
property by the defendant no.1 by spending the money out of<\/p>\n
his own income and the plaintiff has contributed nothing in the<\/p>\n
establishment and development of the hospital in the house so<\/p>\n
purchased. Regarding the power of attorney, it is averred in the<\/p>\n
written statement that the general of power attorney for half<\/p>\n
portion in the suit property was executed by the plaintiff herself<\/p>\n
in favour of the defendant no. 1 and was got attested by the<\/p>\n
Notary Public on 1.4.06 and that even the factum of sale of the<\/p>\n
suit property vide sale deed dated 7.8.06 was well within the<\/p>\n
knowledge of the plaintiff.\n<\/p>\n
4.    On the basis of the pleadings of the parties, the issues

                                            (S.B.CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO.5475\/07)
\n                                    3<\/span><\/p>\n
were framed by the learned trial court on 8.3.07 and the matter<\/p>\n
is presently posted for plaintiff evidence.<\/p>\n
5.    At this stage, the plaintiff preferred an application under<\/p>\n
Order VI Rule 17 seeking leave to amend the plaint on the<\/p>\n
ground that during the course of cleaning of the residential<\/p>\n
premises which is part of the suit property, she has found certain<\/p>\n
documents therefore, it has become necessary to amend the<\/p>\n
plaint so as to incorporate the facts in respect of the documents<\/p>\n
so found. It was averred that the amendment sought for is<\/p>\n
necessary for adjudication of lis between the parties .<\/p>\n
6.    The   defendants-petitioners        contested       the    application<\/p>\n
without filing any reply thereto.\n<\/p>\n
7.    After hearing both the parties, the learned trial court<\/p>\n
arrived at the finding that the amendment sought for is allowed<\/p>\n
then,it is not going to change the nature of the suit and the<\/p>\n
same is relevant to the subject matter of the suit. The learned<\/p>\n
trial court opined that the amendment sought for cannot be said<\/p>\n
to be belated. Accordingly, by the order impugned, the learned<\/p>\n
trial court while allowing the application preferred has taken the<\/p>\n
amendment plaint already filed on record.<\/p>\n
8.    It is to be noticed that by the order impugned yet another<\/p>\n
application preferred by the plaintiff under Order VII Rule 14 CPC<\/p>\n
for taking the documents on record has also been allowed but,

                                         (S.B.CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO.5475\/07)
\n                                 4<\/span><\/p>\n
that part of the order is not impugned in the present writ<\/p>\n
petition.\n<\/p>\n
9.      It is contended by the learned counsel for the petitioners<\/p>\n
that the order impugned passed by the learned trial court<\/p>\n
ignoring the proviso to Order VI Rule 17 is not sustainable in eye<\/p>\n
of law. The learned counsel submitted that after commencement<\/p>\n
of the trial, the application seeking amendment of the pleadings<\/p>\n
cannot be allowed by the learned trial court unless the court<\/p>\n
comes to the conclusion that inspite of the due diligence , the<\/p>\n
party    could   not   have   raised    the     matter      before      the<\/p>\n
commencement of the trial. The learned counsel submitted that<\/p>\n
there is no averment in the application seeking amendment to<\/p>\n
establish that even after due diligence, the plaintiff could not<\/p>\n
have preferred an application seeking amendment before the<\/p>\n
commencement of the trial. The learned counsel submitted that<\/p>\n
the suit was filed by the plaintiff on 21.12.06 and all the<\/p>\n
documents , relied upon by the plaintiff and made basis for the<\/p>\n
amendment sought for are of the date prior to the date of filing<\/p>\n
of the suit and same were in her power and possession inasmuch<\/p>\n
as, even according to the plaintiff , the same were found at her<\/p>\n
own residential house. Accordingly, it is submitted by the learned<\/p>\n
counsel that the learned trial court has seriously erred in<\/p>\n
allowing the application seeking amendment of the plaint.\n<\/p>\n

\n                                     5<\/span><\/p>\n
10.   Per contra, the learned counsel appearing on behalf of the<\/p>\n
respondent submitted that in compliance of the order impugned,<\/p>\n
the   petitioners   have   already       filed   their   amended    written<\/p>\n
statement before the learned trial court on 6.7.07 and therefore,<\/p>\n
at this stage, they cannot be permitted to assail the validity of<\/p>\n
order impugned. That apart, it is submitted by the learned<\/p>\n
counsel that the matter was at the stage of the plaintiff evidence<\/p>\n
and the learned trial court has categorically found that the<\/p>\n
amendment sought for is relevant for adjudication of the<\/p>\n
controversy involved therefore, simply because the learned trial<\/p>\n
court has not recorded the specific finding in terms of the proviso<\/p>\n
to Order VI Rule 17, the order impugned cannot be interfered<\/p>\n
with by this court in exercise of its supervisory jurisdiction.<\/p>\n
11.   I have considered the rival submissions and perused the<\/p>\n
record.\n<\/p>\n
12.   It is true that as per the new proviso added to Order VI<\/p>\n
Rule 17 by the Civil Procedure Code(Amendment)Act, 2002 , no<\/p>\n
application for amendment of the pleadings shall be allowed after<\/p>\n
the trial has commenced unless the court comes to the<\/p>\n
conclusion that inspite of due diligence , the party applying for<\/p>\n
amendment could not have raised the matter before the<\/p>\n
commencement of the trial. Obviously, the said provision has<\/p>\n
been incorporated so as to shorten the litigation and expedite

the disposal of the cases. But then,         it is settled law that the<\/p>\n
rules of procedure are hand maiden of justice and have to be<\/p>\n
construed so as to subserve the cause of substantial justice. The<\/p>\n
jurisdiction vested in the court to permit or not to permit the<\/p>\n
amendment of the pleadings has to be exercised judicially taking<\/p>\n
into account the facts and circumstances of each case. The<\/p>\n
application seeking amendment cannot be rejected solely on the<\/p>\n
ground of delay without considering the relevancy of the<\/p>\n
amendment sought for, for complete and effectual adjudication<\/p>\n
of the lis between the parties.\n<\/p>\n
13.   Having gone through the application seeking leave to<\/p>\n
amend the plaint , in the considered opinion of this court, the<\/p>\n
amendment sought for appears to be relevant and necessary for<\/p>\n
the complete and effectual adjudication             of the controversy<\/p>\n
involved in the suit. It is true that the plaintiffs have not been<\/p>\n
able to establish in strict sense that she could not have raised<\/p>\n
the matter sought to be raised by way of amendment of the<\/p>\n
plaint before the commencement of the trial even after due<\/p>\n
diligence .However, the fact remains that the explanation with<\/p>\n
regard to amendment sought for ,set out by the plaintiff in the<\/p>\n
application   preferred   has     not   been     controverted       by    the<\/p>\n
defendant by filing any counter thereto. That apart, admittedly,<\/p>\n
in compliance of the order impugned, the defendants have

\n                                                                 GOYAL &ANR.\n<\/p>\n
                                         (S.B.CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO.5475\/07)
\n                                 7<\/span><\/p>\n
already filed their amended written statement before the learned<\/p>\n
trial court.\n<\/p>\n
14.   Thus, in the considered opinion of this court, the learned<\/p>\n
trial court after due consideration of the facts and circumstances<\/p>\n
of the case having exercised its judicial discretion, so as to<\/p>\n
subserve the cause of substantial justice, there is no reason as<\/p>\n
to why the impugned order should be interfered with by this<\/p>\n
court in exercise of its supervisory jurisdiction under Article 227<\/p>\n
of the Constitution of India.\n<\/p>\n
15.   In the result, the writ petition fails, it is hereby dismissed.<\/p>\n
No order as to costs.\n<\/p>\n
