MGR,J Now the point that arises for consideration before this Court is whether the revision petitioner-defendant can be permitted to withdraw an admission made in a written statement at the stage of trial, after long lapse of period?

Sri T. Tejeswara Rao, learned counsel appearing for the revision petitioner would content that if the amendment application is allowed, no prejudice could be caused to the respondent. The respondent pressed for dismissal of the petition with an intention to avoid suit claim in another O.S.No.155 of 2014 filed by the petitioner. He further contends that there are no delay on the part of the petitioner in filing the petition for amendment and the same could be filed at any stage of the suit proceedings. The respondent filed the suit for recovery of amount based on the promissory note, which is a rank forgery, created and fabricated by the respondent for filing this suit. The rejection of the application for amendment would result in failure of justice and would cause irreparable injury to the petitioner. He argued for allowing the petition by setting aside the order of the trial Court. The counsel for the petitioner stated that he came to know if the amend of written statement is not permitted it could cause irretrievable loss to the petitioner and obstruct the due course of substantive justice.
