Order Details: COPY OF ORDER Pdf Text: CS326/23 SUDHA SHARMA AND ANR. Vs. SURESH CHAND SHARMA AND ORS. 16.08.2024 Present: Ld. Counsel for plaintiff with plaintiff. Ld. Counsel for defendant(s) with one Counsel appearing in person and another Sh. Ikrant Sharma appearing through V.C. There are two Counsels who are appearing for the defendants, one through V.C and the other in person and both the Counsels are arguing one by one. They are directed to first decide which Counsel wants to address the Court. Counsel appearing through VC is appearing through his car and despite repeated queries of this Court as to whether he wants to make any submissions on the application U/O VI Rule 17 CPC (copy of which is stated to have been already supplied by plaintiff to defendant), he is repeatedly saying that this Court should inform him with respect to his query that whether plaintiff has paid court fees. It appears that Counsel for defendant has not bothered to go through the application U/o VI Rule 17 CPC moved by plaintiff which admittedly has been supplied to defendants. This is because, had the Counsel for defendant gone through the said application, it would be evident to him that in terms of last order plaintiff has sought to amend her para of valuation and has specifically valued each relief with Court fees paid thereupon. -- 1 of 4 -- Since, Counsel for defendant refuses to make any submissions on application U/O VI Rule 17 CPC, I proceed to decide the said application on merits. At this stage, Ld. Counsel for defendant Mr. Ikrant Sharma in an intimidating tone said ‘ mein bhi record kar raha hu isko’. No permission to record the video conference herein has been made by the Ld. Counsel for defendant and it appears that Ld. Counsel for defendant is trying to brow beat the Court by addressing the Court in an intimidating tone. Even though, he is sitting in the car, he claims that he is appearing before the Hon’ble High Court of Delhi. Despite requesting the Ld. Counsel for defendant Mr. Ikrant Sharma to maintain decorum of the Court, he is arguing back with the Court. He claims that this matter should be kept for 12:30 PM. Considering the matters already fixed, the request is declined. He is again requested to make submissions on the application U/O VI Rule 17 CPC. He refused to make any submissions and thus, I have heard arguments on application U/O VI Rule 17 CPC moved by plaintiff. Put up for orders at 4:00 PM. Aashish Gupta DJ-01/NE/KKD/DELHI 16.08.2024 At 2:05 PM Present: None for plaintiff. Mr. Ikrant Sharma, Ld. Counsel for defendant. Mr. Sharma submits that there was -- 2 of 4 -- miscommunication in the hearing done in the morning and he be allowed to make submissions on application U/O VI Rule 17 CPC. Submissions on behalf of defendant heard. Put up for orders at 4:00 PM. Aashish Gupta DJ-01/NE/KKD/DELHI 16.08.2024 At 4:00 PM Present: None Plaintiff has moved an application U/O VI Rule 17 CPC inter-alia wanting to delete para 2 to 6 of the original plaint. This on the ground that plaintiff No. 3 has been declared to have expired and a declaration to that effect is stated to have been given by the Court of competent jurisdiction in Suit No. 436/23 on 04.04.2024. Again, plaintiff wants to renumber the other paragraphs of the plaint as there is some typographical error in the numbering of the paragraphs of the plaint on record. Again, plaintiffs want to delete her prayer (d) made in the plaint on the ground that since they are already in possession of the suit property, the said prayer is really not required. Also, by way of the present application, plaintiffs want to amend para (11) (now renumbered as para (12) in the amended plaint filed with the application -- 3 of 4 -- though wrongly written as para (16) in the application). The said amendment is sought on the ground that by virtue of last order, plaintiff was directed to properly value her each relief and pay appropriate court fees. Now, by way of the said amendment, the plaintiff wants to comply with the said order. Counsel for the defendants submitted that he has no objection in case the aforesaid amendments sought are allowed. Matter is still at the stage of completion of pleadings and thus, no prejudice shall be caused to the defendants in case the amendments sought in the present application are allowed. Accordingly, all the amendments sought by way of the present application are allowed. Application is disposed of. Amended memo of parties with amended plaint is taken on record. Defendants are at liberty to file their amended written statement within 30 days from today with advance copy to other side. To come up for completion of pleadings, admission/denial and framing of issues on 09.10.2024. Interim order to continue. Aashish Gupta DJ-01/NE/KKD/DELHI 16.08.2024 -- 4 of 4 --
