PANKAJ JAIN, J. (ORAL)

[1] This is a revision petition directed against order dated 03.05.2024 passed by the learned Civil Judge (Junior Division), Ludhiana whereby, application filed by the plaintiff, seeking amendment of plaint under Order VI Rule 17 CPC stands declined.

[2] From the perusal of the impunged order, it seems that the learned Trial Court dismissed the suit holding that plaintiff failed to plead facts in his knowledge at the initial stage. The amendment being sought at a belated stage cannot be allowed.

[3] Counsel for the petitioner claims that the application seeking amendment of the plaint was filed prior to framing of issues. While issuing notice of motion on 22.08.2024, this Court passed following order:-

“ Counsel for the petitioner inter alia submits that the trial is yet to commence and thus the amendment in the pleadings ought not have been denied.

Issue notice of motion, returnable for 05.11.
