Peruse. Heard.
2. The plaintiff is seeking to amend the plaint to bring on
record subsequent event of passing of speaking order by the defendant,
-- 1 of 4 --
Chamber Summons No.459/2018 ..2.. In Suit No.238/2018
the grounds to allege its nullity, the threats given by defendant for
demolition and the amendment in relief clause.
3. Application is opposed on the ground that the chamber
summons is not maintainable since after passing the speaking order a
new cause of action has arisen for the plaintiff. If amendment is
allowed, the nature of suit will change.
4. Perusal of plaint reveals that the plaintiff has challenged a
notice issued under Section 354A. This Court had directed the defen
dant to pass speaking order. Thereafter, said speaking order is passed
by the defendant. Thus, it being subsequent event and the consequence
of the notice impugned in the suit, the amendment can very well be al
lowed to implead the incident of passing of said order, the grounds of
its nullity and the consequent prayer to challenge the same. The sched
ule of the amendment reveals that paragraph 4 (d) is in relation to the
prayer of injunction during the pendency of this chamber summons. It
can not be a part of the plaint.
5. The objections of defendant can not be considered as no
new cause of action has arisen for the plaintiff, since the order is passed
in pursuance to the notice challenged in the suit. Despite amendment
the suit remains a suit for declaration and injunction. It's nature will
not change.
6. Considering the circumstances, I pass following order.
ORDER
1. Chamber Summons No. 459/2018 is partly allowed in
terms of prayer clause (a) and (b).
