ORDER
This civil revision petition is filed by the
plaintiff in the suit, which is for declaration of title and for
consequential injunction.
2. It is stated that during the pendency of the suit,
when the case was posted for cross-examination of the plaintiff,
she had come to know that there were wrong averments in the
plaint, including the name of her husband and she accepted the
same due to inadvertence. Therefore, I.A.No.914 of 2013 was
filed under Order 23 Rule 1 of C.P.C., seeking permission to
withdraw the suit with liberty to file a fresh suit on the same
cause of action. The said application was dismissed by the
learned trial Judge and this revision is filed against the said
order.

3. The learned counsel for the petitioner contended that
inadvertently, in the plaint, an averment to the effect that the
suit property is a self-acquired property of the plaintiff has
been made, whereas, it was inherited by her, by way of
succession through her husband. On that ground, the learned
counsel argued that the defect is only a formal one and to
rectify the same, the plaintiff may be allowed to withdraw the
suit and file a fresh suit on the same cause of action.
4. The trial Court has dismissed the application on the
ground that even the fundamental facts are wrongly stated in the
plaint. Though the defects may be due to wrong drafting by the
counsel, however, the same cannot be allowed considering them to
be a formal defect. If it is a mistake crept in due to
inadvertence, the plaintiff could have adopted any other method
to rectify the same, in the manner known to law. But withdrawal
of the suit with liberty to file a fresh suit on the same cause
of action is impermissible, when it is not a formal defect. I
could see no infirmity or illegality in the order passed by the
trial Court, warranting interference by this Court. Hence the
civil revision petition is dismissed. No costs. Connected
miscellaneous petition is dismissed.
