SATINDER SINGH Vs. JATINDER SINGH AND ORS.

JUDGEMENT

(1.) THE petitioner has challenged order dated 13.05.2011 by which application filed by the respondents under Order 6 Rule 17 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 (hereinafter referred to as the "CPC") has been allowed; 3 more additional issues have been framed in terms of Order 14 Rule 5 of the CPC and the case has been remanded back to the trial Court with a direction that a report regarding the issues framed, be sent to the lower Appellate Court, within the prescribed time.

However, on coming to know that respondent No. 1, with mala fide intention, was trying to alienate one building bearing Municipal No. B -II/1553 and 1594 to Bimal Kumar, the petitioner filed the Civil Suit for permanent injunction on 14.06.1996 pertaining to the said building apprehending its sale.

(2.) IN the written statement, since the defendant had alleged that the said property has been jointly sold by the petitioner and respondent No. 1 by way of 2 registered sale deeds dated 27.10.1993, therefore, the petitioner filed an application under Order 6 Rule 17 of the CPC for amendment of the plaint in order to challenge the said sale deeds. The application was allowed by the trial Court on 19.02.2004 and the suit was accordingly converted from permanent injunction to declaration but the revision against that order bearing CR No. 1424 of 2004 filed by respondent No. 1 was allowed by this Court and the amendment was set aside.

(3.) COUNSEL for the petitioner has submitted that the application has been allowed by the lower Appellate Court with the following observations: -
