Order - Status 11: IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO.2082 OF 2016 Raghunath Sahebrao Konde .. Petitioner V/s. Ramakant Dattatraya Deshpande ... Respondent Mr.Shriram Kulkarni a/w Ms.Madhura Deshmukh for the petitioner CORAM: K.K. TATED, J. DATED : MAY 2, 2018 P.C. : 1 Heard. 2 By this petition, under Article 227 of the Constitution of India, Petitioner plaintiff is challenging the order dated 19.11.2015 passed by 2nd Joint Civil Judge, Senior Division, Pune rejecting Petitioner's Application below Exhibit 53 in Regular Civil Suit No.193 of 2010 for amendment of plaint under Order 6 Rule 17 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908. Hence, the present Writ Petition. 3 In the present Writ Petition, Petitioner plaintiff initially filed Regular Civil Suit No.193 of 2010 for an order of injunction restraining Respondent original defendant from disturbing his possession in respect of suit property as described in paragraph 1 of the plaint. In that Suit, Respondent defendant filed written statement as well as counter claim. Thereafter Petitioner plaintiff filed Application under Order 6 Rule 17 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 on 25.10.2012 for allowing him to carry out amendment and claimed specific performance of agreement dated 06.08.1996 on payment of court fees and also for joining Sou.Chinga alias Kunda Suresh Deshpande as defendant no.5. 4 Bare reading of the Application filed by the plaintiff for amendment under Order 6 Rule 17 of Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 dated 25.10.2012 shows that though the Suit was filed in 2010, amendment Application was filed on the basis of document executed in the year 1996. Not only, that plaintiff wanted to carry out amendment by converting suit for injunction in Suit for specific performance. 5 It is to be noted that even Apex Court in the matter of North Eastern Railway Administration, Gorakhpur vs. Bhagwan Das (D) by Lrs., 2008(8) SCC 511 held that the principles governing the question of granting or disallowing the amendment under Order VI Rule 17 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 are well settled. Order VI Rule 17 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 postulates amendments of pleadings at any time of the proceedings. All amendments ought to be allowed which satisfy two conditions (a) of not working any injustice to the other side; and (b) of being necessary for the purpose of determining the real question of controversy between the parties. Amendment should be refused only where the other party cannot be placed in the same position as if the pleadings had been originally corrected, but the amendment would cause him an injury which could not be Mohite 2/3 compensated in costs. In the case in hand, the original Plaintiff – Petitioner filed simplicitor suit for injunction inspite of having entire knowledge about the earlier agreement dated 06.08.1996 and by way of amendment he wants to convert the same for specific performance of the said agreement dated 06.08.1996. On delay a reference can be made to the Apex Court judgment in the matter of Van Vibhag Karamchari Griha Nirman Sahakari Sanstha Maryadit v. Ramesh Chander (2010) 14 SCC 596. 6 Hence, I do not find any reason to interfere with the well reasoned order. 7 Hence, Writ Petition stands rejected. 8 At this stage, the learned counsel for the petitioner submits that petitioner may be permitted to make appropriate application before the Trial Court for joining Sou.Chinga alias Kunda Suresh Deshpande as defendant no.5. 9 Considering the submission made by the learned counsel for the petitioner, liberty granted to the petitioner to make application in the Trial Court for joining Sou.Chinga alias Kunda Suresh Deshpande as party defendant no.5 in Suit within 8 weeks from today. 10 If such application is filed, Trial Court to decide the same on its own merits, after hearing both the sides.

P.C. : Original Plaintiff Mr. Jaywant J. Patil, who filed this petition has expired during the pendency of this petition. Said original plaintiff Mr.Jaywant J Patil, since decesed, shall hereinafter be referrred to as original plaintiff. The original plaintiff filed Short Cause Suit No.8031 of 1984 for certain reliefs against various defendants as per the cause title. The original plaintiff had taken out Chamber Summons No.908 of 2010 on 28.9.2010. Affidavit in support dated 28.9.2010 was to be used to support the prayers in the chamber summons. By this Chamber Summons No.908 of 2010, by prayer clause (a) it was prayed that the delay in taking out the Chamber Summons be condoned. By prayer clause (b) it was prayed that name of defendant no.8 Gopalji Virji Surji be deleted and in its place consequential amendment be permitted to be made by joining respondents in the chamber summons i.e. Ms.Jayalaxmi Gopal Virji & Ms. Anjali Gopal Virji. By prayer clause (c) it was prayed that pending the hearing and final disposal of the suit, defendant nos.4, 5, 6, 9,10,12, 13, 14 and 15 be directed to furnish to the original plaintiff or his advocate names, ages and addresses of the heirs and legal representatives of the defendant nos.1, 2, 3, 7 and 11, since expired, to enable the Original plaintiff to take further steps in the matter. To this chamber summons affidavit in reply came to be filed by original defendant nos.5 said chamber summons was opposed by these defendants. They are respondents in this petition. The said chamber summons was heard and disposed of the learned learned Judge of the City Civil Court by order dated 4.2.2011. At this stage it is required to be mentioned that this chamber summons was decided by the learned judge of the City Civil Court by speaking order dated 4.2.2011. In the operative part of the order instead of stating that Chamber Summons No. 908 of 2010 is dismissed, it is mentioned that Chamber Summons No.1024 of 2010 is dismissed. Obviously this is a typographical mistake and to that extent I am inclined to read the order dated 4.2.2011 as having been passed in Chamber Summons No.908 of 2010. To be fair to the learned Advocates who appeared before this Court they stated across the bar, upon instructions, that they have no objection for the court taking the aforesaid view. So far as the Chamber Summons is concerned, it is noted that by this Chamber Summons the original plaintiff wanted to delete defendant no.8 and bring on record Ms.Jayalaxmi and Ms.Anjali as defendants. These two persons are served in this writ petition, however, they are absent. The original defendant nos. 5, 6, 9, 10, 12 to 15 who are respective respondents in this petition are represented by an advocate as mentioned aforesaid. Learned Advocate Mr. Govilkar appearing on behalf of the petitioners submitted that the learned Judge of the City Civil Court ought to have appreciated the provisions of Order 22 Rule 10A of C.P.C. And Order 22 Rule 4 of C.P.C. and the learned Judge should have accepted the submissions made across the bar as regards duty cast upon the advocate appearing for respective defendant to disclose the fact of death of the respective defendant and the date of death, as also the names and other particulars of the heirs of such a defendant. Learned Advocate Mr. Govilkar submitted that the view taken by the learned Judge of the City Civil Court to dismiss the chamber summons was not proper and as such the chamber summons should be made absolute. Learned Advocate Mr.Ankit Lohia supported the impugned order, whereby the learned Judge of the City Civil Court had taken a view that Order 22 Rule 10A of CPC can be interpreted to a limited extent, that is to say, if the advocate for a particular defendant comes to know the fact of death of his client, it would be the duty of the said advocate to inform the court the fact of death of such defendant. He submitted that the Chamber Summons was rightly dismissed. Learned Advocate Ms.Sneha Nanandkar supported the arguments of learned advocate Mr. Lohiya. I have heard learned Advocates on both sides. I have gone through the text of the affidavit in support of the chamber summons. It is required to be mentioned that in the affidavit in support of the chamber summons dated 28.9.2010, the date on which the original defendant no.8 has expired is not mentioned. Same is the position as regards defendant nos.1, 2, 3, 7 and 11. In my view, the date when a particular party has expired and mentioning of the same in the affidavit in support is of importance with reference to the question whether the chamber summons is filed within the period of limitation. Provisions of Article 120 of the Limitation Act, 1963 (Limitation Act) governs the period of limitation for filing application to bring heirs of a defendant on record. The period of limitation is 90 days and time from which the period begins to run is "the date of death of the plaintiff, appellant, defendant or respondent as the case may be". The provisions of Order 22 Rule 4 of Civil Procedure Code also provides for bringing the names of the heirs of the defendant who has expired. In view of the provisions of article 120 of the Limitation Act, mentioning of the date when the person has expired is of importance as stated earlier. To my mind, three dates are relevant (1) the date on which a particular defendant has expired (2) the date on which the plaintiff comes to know about the death of a particular defendant whose heirs are sought to be taken on record and (3) the date on which proceeding is taken out for bringing heirs on record of such a defendant who has expired. In my view, unless the date of death of a particular defendant whose heirs are sought to be brought on record is not mentioned, then it would be difficult for the court to decide whether the application for bringing heirs on record is filed within the period of limitation or beyond the period of limitation. This is so because if the application is filed for bringing heirs of a particular defendant on record and if there is a delay, such a delay has to be explained in the said application. It would then be left to the court to either accept the explanation and condone the delay or to reject the explanation and reject the application filed for bringing heirs of a particular defendant on record. As mentioned earlier, in the affidavit dated 28.9.1010 there is no mention as to the date on which a particular defendant has expired. As such, the minimum requirement for filing an application for bringing heirs of a particular defendant on record is not complied with. The learned Judge of the City Civil Court in his order dated 4.2.2011 has not adverted to this aspect of the matter. In my view, in the absence of the date of death of a defendant whose heirs are sought to be brought on record, the learned Judge could not have granted leave to original plaintiff to take out Chamber Summons. It is on this ground I am inclined to observe that the chamber summons filed by the petitioner being Chamber Summons No,908 of 2010 cannot be termed as a chamber summons properly filed and as such the said chamber summons will have to be termed as not maintainable. Once it is held that the Chamber Summons No.908 of 2010 is not maintainable, the order dated 4.2.2011 passed by the learned Judge of the City Civil Court dismissing the said chamber summons will have to be treated as non-est. This will equally mean that the present petitioners can be permitted to file a fresh chamber summons by mentioning therein the date on which the respective defendant has expired. Since this court is holding that the order dated 4.2.2011 is non-est, the observations made by the learned Judge on the interpretation of Order 22 Rule 10A and Order 22 Rule 4 of the Code of Civil Procedure other observations will be declared as non operative so far as the parties to the chamber summons. In view of the aforesaid discussion, in the first place, the present petitioners will have to ascertain the date of death of original defendant no.8 and other defendants namely defendant nos.1, 2, 3, 7 and 11 and the petitioners will also have to ascertain the names and other particulars of the heirs of defendant nos.1, 2, 3, 7 and 11 and it is thereafter the petitioners would be able to file a proper chamber summons accordingly and seek appropriate reliefs. For doing this, liberty will have to be granted to the petitioners. Needless to mention that if such a chamber summons is filed, all persons who are joined as opponents to such a chamber summons will be at liberty to oppose the said chamber summons by raising appropriate contentions. All contentions in that behalf are left open. Liberty is required to be given to the petitioners to file independent application seeking limited prayer as has been done in terms of prayer clause (c) of the chamber summons, then all the persons who are joined as opponents in the said application can oppose said application. All contentions in that behalf are kept open. In view of the aforesaid observations, following order is passed to dispose of this chamber summons: ORDER i) Order dated 4.2.2011 passed by the learned Judge of the City Civil Court, in Chamber Summons No.908 of 2010 is set aside as nonest, Chamber Summons No.908 of 2010 is dismissed as not maintainable. ii) Liberty is given to the petitioner to file a fresh chamber summons to bring on record heirs of defendant nos.8 as also heirs of defendant nos.1, 2, 3, 7 and 11 by mentioning in the affidavit in support of the chamber summons the date of death of the respective defendant. Needless to mention that the persons who are sought to be brought on record as heirs of defendant nos.8, 1, 2, 3, 7 and 11 will have to be joined as respondents. These respondents and such other defendants who are interested in opposing the new chamber summons are free to oppose the said chamber summons by raising appropriate conclusions. All contentions in that behalf are left open. The learned Judge of the City Civil Court, Mumbai shall decide the chamber summons on merits. Iii) Liberty is given to the petitioners to file independent application seeking limited prayer as has been done in terms of prayer (c) of the aforesaid chamber summons. All the persons who are joined as opponents in the said application can oppose said application. All contentions in that behalf are kept open. iv. In the facts and circumstances of the case, there shall be no order as to costs. [R.Y.GANOO, J.]
