JUDGMENT<\/p>\n
Manmohan Sarin, J.<\/p>\n
1.   Plaintiff instituted this suit for permanent injunction on  30.9.1997, alleging  infringement  of his trade mark “ALPS” in  respect  of  cosmetics goods.  Plaintiff also sought rendition of accounts. Plaintiff claims  that defendant is passing off his goods as that of the Plaintiff.\n<\/p>\n
2.   Defendant  has filed his written statement and has denied the  allegations made in the plaint. Defendants claim continuous use of the trade mark ALPS  since  1971 in relation to wide range of cosmetics by virtue  of  the registration  of  the mark under No. 273384-B in respect  of  lipsticks  in Class 3.\n<\/p>\n
3.   Defendant has also filed his counter claim seeking, inter alia, permanent injunction against the plaintiff from using the trade mark ‘ALPS’  and also rendition of accounts.\n<\/p>\n
4.   By  the  present application under Order VI, Rule 17 of  the  Code  of Civil  Procedure, defendant seeks to amend para 8 of the written  statement and the pleadings to the same effect in the counter claim. Para (8) of  the written statement filed by the defendants reads under:\n<\/p>\n
       “8.  That after the execution of the retirement  deed\/dissolution  deed  dated 31.3.1995 and the deed of agreement dated  31.3.1995,  the  defendant firm reconstituted the firm vide partnership  deed  dated 1.4.1995 comprising of two partners namely Shri Manohar Lal  Gulati and Shri Rakesh Kumar Gulati.”\n<\/p>\n
5.   By the present application defendant seeks an amendment to the  effect that  the  defendant thereafter reconstituted the firm by  the  Partnership Deed dated 31st March, 1995 instead of Partnership Deed dated 1.4.1995.  It is claimed that the date of the Partnership Deed 1.4.1995, was  erroneously mentioned  and, in fact, Shri Rakesh Gulati joined the firm  on  31.3.1995. Reliance  has been placed on Form No.’B’ issued by the Registrar  of  Firms wherein the date of joining of Shri Rakesh Kumar as a partner in the  partnership  firm  is  intimated as 31.3.1995; and also on Form  ‘C’  with  the registration No. 359\/68 wherein it is mentioned that Mr. Jagdish Lal Gulati retired  on  31.3.1995 while Shri Rakesh Kumar Gulati joined  the  firm  on 31.3.1995 itself.\n<\/p>\n
6.   Learned  Counsel for the plaintiff has vehemently opposed  the  prayer for amendment. It is urged that the Partnership Deed was dated 1.4.1995 and this  was the defendant’s case before the Sales Tax, Income Tax  and  Trade Mark  Authorities. The Partnership Deed dated 1.4.1995 is on record. It  is urged  that  the attempt to alter the date to 31.3.1995 is  an  attempt  at fabrication and a fraud on the Court. Reliance has also been placed on  the Certificate bearing No. 380\/96 dated 15.2.1996, of the Registrar of Firms, wherein  the date of joining of Shri Rakesh Gulati is shown as  1.4.95  and the  reference  is  the Partnership Deed dated  1.4.1995.  Learned  Counsel argued  that  having filed the Partnership Deep dated  1.4.1995,  defendant cannot  be  permitted  to alter and fabricate the date  to  31.3.1995.  The Partnership Deed dated 31.3.1995 had been belatedly filed before the Registerar  of  Firms. Defendant cannot be permitted to file  the  altered  deed dated 31.3.1995 with the Registerar of Firms and then place reliance on the certifications  obtained.  This is a mala fide attempt  to  over-reach  the Court. The amendment is being sought for an oblique and extraneous  purpose to gain advantage in other litigations.\n<\/p>\n
7.   Defendant, in the rejoinder to the reply filed, has sought to  explain the  position  by stating that stamp paper for the Deed  was  purchased  on 30.3.1995,  which  was  typed on 31.3.1995 with the date  of  execution  as 1.4.1995. Photocopies of the same were taken. However, on 31.3.1995  itself with the consent of the partners the date was altered to read 31.3.1995, to be in consonance with the date on which it was executed. It is stated  that erroneously the Partnership Deed with the date 1.4.1995 was filed with  the Registrar  of Firms and other authorities. Learned Counsel for the  defendants urges that the defendant is entitled to correct this factual error and the position has been clarified with the different authorities before  whom also the correct Partnership Deed bearing the date 31.3.1995 has since then been filed.\n<\/p>\n
8.   The question to be considered in these facts is whether the  defendant should be precluded from correcting what he claims to be an error by  placing  on  record the Partnership Deed bearing the  date  31.3.1995.  However negligent  or  careless  the said mistake may have been, the  law  in  this regard is well-settled. Amendments are to be liberally allowed unless  they are mala fide or seek to alter the very nature of the case. In the  instant case, it is not in dispute that Manohar Lal Gulati and Rakesh Kumar  Gulati are  the  two partners of the defendant firm. The contents of  the  earlier Partnership  Deed dated 31.3.1995 and the one dated 1.4.1995 are the  same. There is no other change except the date. As far as Shri Jagdish Lal Gulati is concerned, there is no dispute with regard to the factum of his  retirement  from the partnership of defendant No.1 by virtue of  the  Dissolution Deed dated 31.3.1995. It is not a case where the rights of Shri Jagdish Lal
\nGulati,  partner of the plaintiff, are prejudiced in any manner by  permitting  the amendment. Moreover, it is permissible for the plaintiff to  take all  the  pleas,  as may be available at law, and state  its  version  with regard to the change of the date in the Partnership Deeds.\n<\/p>\n
9.   Learned Counsel for the plaintiff relied on Heera Lal Vs. Kalyan Mal & Ors., , in support of his contention  that the defendant cannot be permitted to withdraw an admission made by  seeking an  amendment.  In  other words, it is urged that the  defendant,  who  had himself  filed the Partnership Deed dated 1.4.1995 and got the firm  registered on that basis, cannot be permitted subsequently to seek an  amendment by  altering the date in the Partnership Deed and getting the  registration on the basis of the changed date of partnership. In my view, this authority would  not advance the plaintiff’s case. The ratio decidendi of this  judgment is that an admission cannot be permitted to be withdrawn by  amendment if it displaces the plaintiff’s case. In the cited case, the defendant  had admitted that seven out of the ten properties were joint family  properties
\nand was claiming that only three were his exclusive properties. Subsequently,  the defendant sought to claim that all the ten properties belonged  to him.  The  present case is totally distinguishable on  facts.  Herein,  the defendant’s partners continue to be the same. The factum of the plaintiff’s partner  having retired by virtue of the Dissolution Deed  dated  31.3.1995 from  the erstwhile firm is not in dispute. Accordingly, the change in  the amendment does not, in any manner, displace the plaintiff’s case.\n<\/p>\n
10.  The case is at its initial stage. The amendment sought does not  alter or change the nature of the case. The defendant has offered an  explanation for  the error, which cannot be simply brushed aside. Besides,  the  merits and  demerits  of the proposed amendment are not required to be  gone  into while considering the amendment application.\n<\/p>\n
11.  The  application is allowed, subject to payment of cost of  Rs.2,500\/- to  be paid by the defendant. Defendant to file the amended written  statement and counter claim within six weeks.\n<\/p>\n
     Application allowed with costs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
