Petitioner\n\nvs.\n\nS.Nagaraja Perumal\t\t... Respondent\n\nPRAYER\n\nPetition filed under Section 115 of the Civil Procedure Code against the\nFair and Decretal order in I.A.No.182 of 2006 in A.S.No.17 of 2006, dated\n14.11.2006 passed by the learned Subordinate Judge, Padmanabhapuram allowing the\napplication seeking for an amendment filed by the\nrespondent\/petitioner\/appellant under Order 6 Rule 17 of the Civil Procedure\nCode.\t\t\n\t\t\n!For Petitioner ... Mr.T.Arul\n^For Respondent\t... Mr.C.Godwin\n\n:ORDER\n<\/pre>\n<p id=\"p_1\">\tThis Civil Revision Petition is filed under Section 115 of the Civil<br \/>\nProcedure Code against the Order dated 14.11.2006 made in I.A.No.182 of 2006 in<br \/>\nA.S.No.17 of 2006, on the file of the learned Subordinate Judge,<br \/>\nPadmanabhapuram, wherein the learned Subordinate Judge allowed the application<br \/>\nseeking amendment, filed by the respondent herein.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_1\">\t2. The respondent herein filed the suit in O.S.No.215 of 2002 on the file<br \/>\nof the Sub Court, Padmanabhapuram, against the petitioner\/defendant and prayed<br \/>\nfor execution of the sale deed in favour of the plaintiff on the basis of an<br \/>\nagreement of sale dated 27.09.2000. According to the plaintiff, a sum of<br \/>\nRs.40,000\/- was received by the petitioner\/defendant and a sale agreement was<br \/>\nexecuted, which was not implemented by executing a sale deed. By a Judgment<br \/>\ndated 23.03.2005, the said suit was dismissed by the learned Subordinate Judge,<br \/>\nPadmanabhapuram.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_2\">\t3. Challenging the Judgment and Decree, the respondent filed appeal in<br \/>\nA.S.No.17 of 2006. In the said appeal, the respondent filed I.A.No.182 of 2006<br \/>\nseeking amendment of the plaint, directing the defendant\/petitioner herein to<br \/>\nreturn back the earnest money of Rs.40,000\/- with simple interest at the rate of<br \/>\n9% per annum from the date of execution of the sale agreement till date of<br \/>\nappeal, and thereafter, at 6% per annum, till payment of the same.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_3\">\t4. The said application was resisted by the petitioner herein stating that<br \/>\nthe prayer sought for in the amendment application is frivolous and the demand<br \/>\nof refund is barred by limitation. The learned Subordinate Judge,<br \/>\nPadmanabhapuram, allowed the amendment application. The said Order is challenged<br \/>\nin this Civil Revision Petition on the ground that the amendment order alters<br \/>\nthe subject matter and character of the suit and the exercise of discretion by<br \/>\nthe Court below under Order 6 Rule 17 CPC is erroneous and the point of<br \/>\nlimitation in getting refund of the said amount is also not considered by the<br \/>\nCourt below.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_4\">\t5. The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the amendment<br \/>\nsought for is unnecessary, since the Appellate Court itself can order the refund<br \/>\nof the amount, if the appeal is dismissed and without even necessary alternative<br \/>\nprayer, the amount can be ordered to be returned, if the respondent establishes<br \/>\nhis right to get the amount. In support of the said contention, the learned<br \/>\ncounsel for the petitioner cited the Judgment of a Division Bench of this Court<br \/>\nin <a href=\"\/doc\/203207\/\" id=\"a_1\">Fathima Majeed v. Subhapratha Ravikumar<\/a> reported in 2008 (4) CTC 494.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_5\">\t6. The learned counsel for the respondent submitted that even though<br \/>\nwithout amendment the respondent is entitled to get the amount with interest on<br \/>\nequitable ground, for abundant caution, the amendment was prayed for, which was<br \/>\nrightly ordered by the Court below and no prejudice would be caused to the<br \/>\npetitioner by ordering amendment. In support of his contention, the learned<br \/>\ncounsel for the respondent cited the Judgment of a Full Bench of this Court in<br \/>\n<a href=\"\/doc\/1237771\/\" id=\"a_1\">Hi.Sheet Industries v. Litelon Limited<\/a> reported in 2006 (5) CTC 609.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_6\">\t7. I have considered the rival submissions made by the learned counsel<br \/>\nappearing for the petitioner as well as the learned counsel appearing for the<br \/>\nrespondent.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_7\">\t8. The point in issue is whether an alternative prayer can be made for<br \/>\nspecific performance of the agreement or in the alternate to refund the amount<br \/>\nreceived if the agreement is unable to be implemented in a specific performance<br \/>\nsuit.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_8\">\t9. In Balasaheb Dayandeo Naik (Dead) through LRs &amp; others v. Appasaheb<br \/>\nDattatraya Pawer reported in 2008 1 LW 801, the Hon&#8217;ble Supreme Court held that<br \/>\nreturn of money can be ordered even if specific performance is not altered. In<br \/>\nParagraph 13, it is held as follows:-\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_9\">\t&#8220;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230; The High Court commented the conduct of the plaintiffs in<br \/>\npraying for refund of the earnest money, namely Rs.20,000\/- paid as advance. As<br \/>\nrightly pointed out, the claim for refund of earnest money is only their<br \/>\nalternative claim. It is not in dispute that in all suits for specific<br \/>\nperformance, the plaintiff is entitled to seek alternative relief in the event<br \/>\nthe decree for specific performance cannot be granted for any reason, hence<br \/>\nthere is no infirmity in the alternative plea of refund&#8221;.<br \/>\n<a href=\"\/doc\/203207\/\" id=\"a_2\">In Fathima Majeed v. Subhapratha Ravikumar<\/a> reported in 2008 (4) CTC 494, the<br \/>\nDivision Bench of this Court has held that even if alternative prayer is not<br \/>\nmade, Court can order return of the money on equity ground. In paragraph 11, the<br \/>\nDivision Bench of this Court has held as follows:-\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_10\">\t&#8220;It is true, the plaintiff has not asked for any alternative relief of<br \/>\nrecovery of money. Though it was not asked for, since it is for the relief of<br \/>\nspecific performance, on the ground of equity, the Court can order so.<br \/>\nAccordingly, the defendant is directed to make payment of Rs.7,02,876.25 (Rupees<br \/>\nseven lakhs two thousand eight hundred and seventy six and twenty five paise<br \/>\nonly) to the plaintiff within a period of three months and those amount carries<br \/>\ninterest at the rate of 12% per annum from the respective dates of payments by<br \/>\nthe plaintiff to the defendant, till realisation. On payment of the entire<br \/>\namount, as stated above, the plaintiff is directed to hand over all the title<br \/>\ndeeds, which were originally handed over to her, to the defendant. The Judgment<br \/>\nand decree made in C.S.No.733 of 1995 are set aside. Accordingly, this O.S.A is<br \/>\ndisposed of. No costs&#8221;.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_11\">\t10. Here, in this case, even though no amendment is required to be made in<br \/>\nthe plaint, for the return of the money, as an alternative prayer, the plaintiff<br \/>\nwith an abundant caution, filed an application to amend the prayer in the suit,<br \/>\nwhich was rightly ordered by the learned Subordinate Judge, Padmanabhapuram and<br \/>\nby ordering such amendment, the nature of the suit is not altered in any manner,<br \/>\nsince even without the amended prayer, the Court is entitled to order refund of<br \/>\nthe amount on equitable grounds. The question of limitation also will not arise<br \/>\nin this case, as even without the amendment, the Court is entitled to order<br \/>\nrefund of the amount with interest. The agreement is dated 27.09.2000 and the<br \/>\nsuit was filed in the year 2002. The said ground raised by the petitioner in<br \/>\nthis case also cannot be sustained.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_12\">\t11. The Full Bench of this Court in <a href=\"\/doc\/1237771\/\" id=\"a_3\">Hi.Sheet Industries v. Litelon Limited<\/a><br \/>\nreported in 2006 (5) CTC 609, clearly laid down the guidelines as to how the<br \/>\namendment application should be considered, which reads as follows:-<br \/>\n\t&#8220;(a). As to whether amendment should be allowed or not;\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_13\">\t(b). when it does not affect cause of action.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_14\">\t(c). it does not introduce new cause of action.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_15\">\t(d). it would not cause serious prejudice to opposite party;\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_16\">\t(e) when such amendment is required in the interest of justice&#8221;.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_17\">\t12. Applying the said guidelines issued by the Full Bench in the above<br \/>\nreferred decision to the facts of the case, I am of the view that the amended<br \/>\nprayer has not introduced any new cause of action and no prejudice is caused to<br \/>\nthe petitioner\/defendant in the suit. Merely because the amendment is ordered,<br \/>\nthe right of the petitioner is not affected in any manner and consequently no<br \/>\nprejudice is caused to the petitioner. Hence, no case is made out to interfere<br \/>\nwith the Order passed by the learned Subordinate Judge, Padmanabhapuram.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_18\">\t13. In the result, the Civil Revision Petition fails and the same is<br \/>\ndismissed. No costs. Consequently, connected MP is also dismissed.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_19\">NB<\/p>\n<p>To<br \/>\nThe Subordinate Judge,<br \/>\nPadmanabhapuram.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Madras High Court N.Chellan vs S.Nagaraja Perumal on 21 January, 2009 BEFORE THE MADURAI BENCH OF MADRAS HIGH COURT DATED:21\/01\/2009 Coram THE HONOURABLE MR.JUSTICE N.PAUL VASANTHAKUMAR C.R.P.(PD)(MD)No.781 of 2007 and M.P.No.1 of 2007 N.Chellan &#8230;
