    ORDER PASSED BELOW CHAMBER SUMMONS NO.1546 of 2019
            Chamber summons is taken out by the plaintiff to delete name of authorized signatory of plaintiff company in cause title and to substitute the name of Pradeep Joshi as authorized signatory of plaintiff\''s company. Plaintiff has filed copy of resolution passed in the meeting of Board of Directors of company on 8th August, 2019 in support of this chamber summons.
               I have gone through affidavit in support of chamber summons and copy of resolution dated 8th August, 2019.  It is apparent from copy of resolution that one Pradeep Joshi, General Manager of the plaintiff company has been authorized to file suit, written statement and to do all needful acts and to appear on behalf of plaintiff company. Writ of summons is not yet served upon defendants and amendment sought is of formal nature.  Therefore, I do not find it necessary to issue notice to defendants in relation to chamber summons. Praposed amendment is to delete the name of authorized signatory namely Kirit Marwana and to substitute the same  by name of Pradeep Joshi in cause title of the plaint.  Amendment is necessary and does not change the nature of suit and supported by copy of resolution of  meeting of Board of Directors of company dated 8th August, 2019 therefore, I am inclined to allow proposed amendment. Hence, pass following order
    ORDER
