The petitioners placing reliance on the decision in Baldev Singh and others v. Manohar Singh and another, (2006) 6 SCC 498 ; and Sushil Kumar Jain v. Manoj Kumar and another, (2009) 14 SCC 38 , though submit that the inconsistent plea in a written statement is permissible. However, in the present case under the garb of inconsistent plea, the petitioners/defendants in fact had proposed to withdraw the admission that the land ad-measuring 0.46 hectare was left with the plaintiff retraction of such on admission is impermissible as held in M/s Modi Spinning and Weaving Mills Co.
However, in the present case under the garb of inconsistent plea, the petitioners/defendants in fact had proposed to withdraw the admission that the land ad-measuring 0.46 hectare was left with the plaintiff retraction of such on admission is impermissible as held in M/s Modi Spinning and Weaving Mills Co. LTD and another v. Ladha Ram (1976) 4 SCC 320 : AIR 1977 SC 680 , it has been held - "10. It is true that inconsistent pleas can be made in pleadings but the effect of substitution of paras 25 and 26 is not making inconsistent and alternative pleadings but it is seeking to displace the plaintiff completely from the admissions made by the defendants in the written statement. If such amendments are allowed the plaintiff will be irretrievably prejudiced by being denied the opportunity of extracting the admission from the defendants. The High Court rightly rejected the application for amendment and agreed with the trial Court." 5. In view whereof, since the impugned order does not suffer jurisdictional error, no interference is caused. 6. Consequently, petition fails and is dismissed. Interim order is vacated. No costs.
