The plaintiff thereafter filed a petition on 13.05.2014 under Order VI Rule 17 C.P.C for amendment of the plaint to get the boundary mentioned in the sale deed relied upon by the plaintiff especially in the northern boundary of the suit land by substituting other Plot no.267 and 250 instead of Plot no.240 as mentioned in the boundary shown in the sale deed dated 21.12.2012 but the said amendment petition has been rejected vide order dated 11.07.2014. The plaintiff thereafter has got the sale deed rectified by way of rectification dated 25.08.2014 whereby and whereunder the northern boundary of the suit land has been modified to the effect: North :Plot no.250 South : Plot no.125 East : Plot no.265 West : Plot no.266 & 125 The said rectification deed has been issued by the competent authority by modifying the earlier deed wherein the reference of Plot no.240 has been typed as 2401, Plot no.125 has been typed as 1251 and according to the plaintiff the original sale deed there is reference of Plot no.125 but the line "Purn Viram" has been treated by the plaintiff and therefore, in place of 240 and 125 it has been typed as 2401 and 1251 which has been rectified in pursuance to the rectification deed and thereafter another amendment petition has been filed on 07.02.2015 which has not been pressed and again third petition has been filed under Order VI Rule 17 dated 05.12.2016 which is the subject matter of the present writ petition.
(3.) Mr. Praveen Akhouri, learned counsel for the petitioner has raised the issue in assailing the order dated 18.11.2017 by submitting that prior to the petition dated 05.12.2016 two earlier petitions have been filed one was dismissed while the second was dismissed as not pressed and as such the third petition ought not to have been entertained by the trial Court, further by allowing the aforesaid amendment petition, the cause of action of the suit will entirely be changed and hence the trial court ought to have considered this aspect of the matter but not considered and as such the impugned order is not sustainable in the eye of law.;
