VERSUS
TWELTH ADDITIONAL DISTRICT AND SESSIONS JUDGE AGRA Respondents

JUDGEMENT

- (1.) SUDHIR Narain, J. This writ petition is directed against the order dated 22-10-1994 passed by Additional Judge, Small Causes, Agra-respondent No. 2 allowing the application for amendment of the plaint filed by respondent No. 3 and the order dated 3-2-1996 passed by respondent No. 1 affirming the said order in revision.
(2.) FACTS of the case in brief are that respondent No. 3 filed JSCC Suit No. 616 of 1981 against petitioner for recovery of arrears of rent, ejectment and damages on the ground that the petitioner was tenant of the premises in question. He committed default in payment of arrears of rent in spite of service of notice and also made material alteration in the premises in question as such he was liable for eviction. Petitioner contested the suit. He denied the allegation of the plaintiff-respon dent. The trial court dismissed the suit on 18-2- 1996. Respondent No. 3 filed rent control revision No. 8 of 1986. During the pendency of the revision, the defendant-petitioner filed application for amendment of his written statement. He sought to amend his written statement to take plea that the suit was bad for partial ejectment. His application for amendment of written statement has been allowed. The revisional court framed additional issue "whether the suit was not maintainable on the ground of partial ejectment'. The issue was remitted to the Judge Small Causes Court. After the issue was remitted to the trial court, the case was taken up by the Judge Small Causes Court. Plaintiff-respondent filed an application for amendment of his plaint. In the plaint he sought amendment regarding descrip tion of the property. He made prayer to amend the plaint which runs as under: " (A) That at the foot of the plaint in the details of the premises in suit, first and second line be deleted and it be substituted by the following words: two tin sheds, one sahan, one Bukhari in tin shed, beneath one zeena, one Dalan, one room, two kothris, one latrine, one bath room, one kitchen on the ground floor and one room, one tin shed and open roof appurtenant to it and entire portion in possession of the defendant in building bearing number, 17/119, Billochpura, Tajganj, Agra". This application was allowed by the Judge Small Causes Court on 22-10-1994. Petitioner filed a revision against this order and the revision has been dismissed by order dated 3-2-1996. Petitioner has challenged these orders in the instant writ petition.
(3.) LEARNED Counsel for the petitioner has urged that effect of allowing the amendment is that the issue which was remitted by the revisional court will have no substance. Details of the accommodation as given, if that is taken into account, the nature of the suit will be changed. A perusal of the amendment sought by the plaintiff as indicated, above, shows that he has given the description of the property from which he wants to evict the petitioner. Plaintiff-respondent No. 3 could have indicated the property by moving an application for amendment. The effect of such amendment is still to be considered by the court to which the additional issue has been remitted.;
