Mohinder Kumar Mehra vs Roop Rani Mehra on 11 December, 2017

9. Yet, another contention raised by petitioner is that the proposed amendment can be granted at any stage as no further evidence is required to be adduced by both the parties and based on the evidence available, the Court can decide the dispute between the parties. Though the evidence is adduced, if leave is granted permitting the petitioner to carry out the amendment, an opportunity should be given to defendants to file subsequent pleadings under 4 MSM, J C.R.P.No.5134 of 2017 Order 8 Rule 9 of CPC and an issue is required to be framed and further opportunity should also be given to the parties to adduce evidence on the additional issue framed. Therefore, on the ground that no further evidence is required to be adduced, such proposed amendment cannot be allowed. On the other, according to proviso to Order 6 Rule 17 CPC and by Act 2 of 2002, no application for amendment shall be allowed after the trial has commenced, unless, the Court comes to a conclusion that in spite of due diligence, the party could not have raised the matter before commencement of trial. In view of the said proviso, the petition is not maintainable as the trial is completed and the suit was posted for arguments. In fact, the entire affidavit is silent as to the due diligence exercised by petitioner, which is a mandatory requirement to entertain such application in view of the proviso to Order 6 Rule 17 of CPC. In view of the interdict in Order VI Rule 17 C.P.C by Act 22 of 2002 i.e. proviso, no amendment be permitted after commencement of trial. But, in Mohinder Kumar Mehra v. Roop Rani Mehra and others1, the Apex Court has highlighted the mandatory requirement to claim permission under Order VI Rule 17 C.P.C after commencement of trial.

J.Samuel & Ors vs Gattu Mhesh & Ors on 16 January, 2012

11. In view of the law declared by the Apex Court in the judgments referred supra, the amendment cannot be allowed since the petitioner did not exercise due diligence and failed to bring those facts on record before commencement of trial. By applying the principle laid down in J. Samuel's case, referred supra., the order of the trial Court cannot be interfered with. Therefore, I find no error in the order passed by the Court below calling for interference by this Court and consequently, the revision is liable to be dismissed.
