JUDGEMENT
N.C.Sil, J. -
(1.) This revisional application under Article 227 of the
Constitution of India is directed against the order impugned No. 85
dated 3.11.2003 passed by Sri S. Mukherjee, learned Civil Judge
(Senior Division), Additional Court, Burdwan in connection with Title
Suit No. 90 of 1999 (273 of 1998).
(2.) It appears from the order impugned that one application under
Order 6 Rule 17 of the Code of Civil Procedure filed for amendment
of the plaint on 22.3.2002. The learned Trial Judge was pleased to
reject the said amendment petition. In dealing with the matter the
learned Trial Judge found that the petitioner had filed the application
for amendment of the plaint in view of the order passed by the Hon'ble
Apex Court on 3.9.2001. He has referred to an order of the Apex
Court appearing at page No. 78, 79 and 80 of the petition and came
to the conclusion that the prayers made in the petition for
amendment of the plaint are in violation of the decision of the Hon'ble
Apex Court. I may quote the relevant portion of the finding of the
learned Trial Judge in this regard which runs as below :
"After the above mentioned Judgment of the Hon'ble Apex Court
dated 3.9.2001 it is of my view that the instant amendment
petition so filed will surely create a new case which have already
been decided by the Hon'ble Apex Court cannot be decided by this
Court by way of amendment. At last I am of the view that in view
of the Judgement of the Hon'ble Apex Court dated 3.9.2001 I have
no other alternative but to reject the instant amendment petition
dated 22.3.02 on contest but without cost, keeping in mind the
non filing of W.S. by the defdt./State, it is of my view that after
the aforesaid Judgement of the Hon'ble Apex Court the suit is
required to be heard on the point of maintainability".
(3.) I am really dismayed at the treatment of the amendment
application by the learned Trial Judge. He has ignored the basic
tenets of writing the order in this regard. There is absolutely nothing
in his order as to what was stated by the Hon'ble Apex Court in its
Judgment or what was the plaint case and what are the amendments
sought for and ultimately how the prayers in the amendment
application are in violation of the decision of the Hon'ble Apex Court.;
