Sardul Singh vs Pritam Singh And Ors on 18 March, 1999
3. I am not inclined to allow this ground to be urged since it is being urged for the first time in this revision, without being raised in any of the Courts below. It is clear that the parties were perfectly conscious of the grounds that is being pleaded and in fact have gone to trial on the basis of the understanding of the pleadings. The parties have already led evidence and argued the existence or otherwise of the essential ingredients of 13(1)(k). The Courts below have considered the availability of the grounds. See Sardul Singh v. Pritam Singh and Ors. . It is settled law that where the parties have gone to the trial with full knowledge of the pleadings they ought not to be allowed to raise a ground for the first time at a much later stage. No prejudice can be said to be caused to them.
