JUDGMENT Rule. Rule returnable forthwith. Heard by consent of parties. By the present petition, the petitioner/original plaintiff takes an exception to the order dated 14/3/2006 passed by the Civil Judge, Junior Division, Ramtek in Regular Civil Suit No. 64 of 2004, by which application Exh. 30 for amendment of plaint stood rejected. Heard Mr. J. J. Chandurkar, learned counsel for petitioner/original plaintiff and Mr. C. V. Kale, learned counsel for respondent/original defendant. It appears that the petitioner/original plaintiff has filed civil suit for permanent injunction on the basis of alleged document of registered Sale Deed dated 25/11/1971. It further appears that the respondent/original defendant also came out with a Sale Deed dated 30/4/2004 from the same vendor. Mr. Kale, learned counsel for respondent submits that, it is at the stage of mutation, the dispute arose and the alleged registered Sale Deed of 1971 in favour of the petitioner was never acted upon nor there are mutation entries to that effect. Mr. Chandurkar, learned counsel for petitioner has argued that the proposed amendment is for claiming rights in the suit property as a co-owner and that is why the entire history about the earlier litigation in respect of partition is being sought to be incorporated in the plaint by way of amendment. It is well settled that the plaintiff can take as many pleas as he can. The proposed amendment is merely in addition to what has been stated in the plaint. It does not change the nature of suit as such nor it will be prejudicial to the interest of respondent. The respondent is always at liberty to dispute the pleadings in the proposed amendment by filing consequential amendment. In view of above, the amendment needs to be allowed. The amendment application Exh. 30 filed by petitioner/original plaintiff in Regular Civil Suit No. 64 of 2004, is hereby allowed, subject to payment of cost of Rs. 200/- payable to the respondent within a period of eight weeks. The amendment in the suit be carried out within eight weeks from today. Writ petition allowed. Rule is made absolute accordingly. No order as to costs.
