Makhan Lal Bangal vs Manas Bhunia & Ors on 3 January, 2000
13 Perusal of the order dated 19/11/2013 passed by the
Ld. Trial Court shows that leave was granted to the plaintiff
to amend the plaint to incorporate and seek the relief of
possession. However, the amended plaint filed by the
plaintiff shows that the plaintiff failed to amend the prayer
clause and no relief with regard to possession was
incorporated in terms of order dated 19/11/2013. The
plaintiff thus failed to amend the plaint. Further when the
issues were framed by the Ld. Trial Court, the plaintiff did
not raise the issue of possession. Therefore, the non-framing
of issue with regard to possession by the Ld. Trial Court is
due to the failure of the plaintiff to amend the plaint in terms
of order dated 19/11/2013. Further, as rightly argued by the
respondents that the relief of possession is a consequential
relief in the suit for declaration and in the present case, the
trial court has already determined the issue of declaration
against the plaintiff and therefore, no prejudice has been
caused to the plaintiff/appellants by non-framing of issue
with regard to relief of possession. Reliance is placed by the
appellants for the judgment passed by the Apex Court in
Makhan Lal Bangal vs. Manas Bhunia and Ors, AIR 2001
SC 490. The ratio of the judgment is not applicable in the
present case as in the present case the plaintiff failed to
amend the suit in terms of order dated 19/11/2013 and no
relief for possession was sought in the amended plaint. The
arguments of the appellants that the cause title of the suit
was amended is of no avail.
