JUDGEMENT
Tarun Kumar Gupta, J. -
(1.) This revisional application under Article 227 of the Constitution of India is
directed against the order No.34 dated 03.02.2005 passed by the Civil Judge, (Junior
Division), First Court, Ranaghat, in Title Suit No.179 of 2002 rejecting the
application for amendment filed by the plaintiff/petitioner under order 6 Rule 17 of
the Code of Civil Procedure.
(2.) Being aggrieved with the said order dated 03.02.2005 the instant revisional
application has been filed alleging inter alia that the petitioner/plaintiff filed the said
suit for declaration of title and eviction of respondent/defendants being the licensees
after termination of licence and that respondent/defendants started to contest the said
suit by filing written statement. In the written statement the respondent/defendants
being brothers of the present petitioner/plaintiff alleged that the suit property was
purchased with the money of their father but the petitioner/plaintiff being the eldest
son was entrusted to be present in the registry office at the time of registration and
taking advantage of the same he got the deed in his name. Earlier the present
petitioner/plaintiff made some amendments in his plaint by incorporating some facts
relating to the case for correction of the records and that the respondent/defendants
filed an additional W.S. wherein they for the first time alleged that the present
plaintiff/petitioner admitting the fact that the suit property was purchased with the
money of their father executed one declaration dated 21.07.1966 on stamp paper in
favour of the defendants. In view of the said averments of the respondent/defendants
in the said additional W.S. the petitioner/plaintiff has filed a petition for amendment
under Order 6 Rule 17 read with Section 161 C.P.C. denying execution of the said
declaration in favour of the defendants with a further case that as petitioner/plaintiff
used to stay away from the suit property in connection with service he deposited
some blank stamp papers duly executed by him in the custody of his father for taking
loan for other purpose and that present defendants being brothers of the plaintiff
fabricated those signed stamp papers. Petitioner/plaintiff also prayed for making
certain amendments relating to B.L.R. case as well as for changing one date from
16.12.1960 to 06.12.1960.
(3.) It appears that learned Trial Court allowed the amendments of plaint relating to
item Nos. 3 and 4 relating to L.R. case record averments and change of date but
refused amendments in para No. 1 and 2 which were relating to alleged execution of
declaration by petitioner/plaintiff in favour of the respondent/defendants.
In spite of service of notice upon O.P./defendants as it appears from affidavit
in service none appeared from the side of O.P./defendants.;
