ORDER
By way of this chamber summons respondent Nos.1,3,4,5,11,17,
18 and 19 prayed for amendment in the reply to the Charity Application
as per schedule attached.
2. In supporting affidavit of Mahendra Chemburkar, the authorized
representative of MAGA on behalf of respondent Nos.1,3,4,
5,11,17, 18 and 19 submitted that applicant filed this charity
application being aggrieved against the order of learned Joint Charity
Commissioner dt.31.08.2016 in Appeal No.36 of 2012 in Inquiry
No.1354 of 2010 order dt.08.02.2011. After service of the notice of this
application they appointed an Advocate and also shown their
appearance and submitted that they will file draft reply. However, due

-- 1 of 4 --
CS 970/2018 .. 2 .. Suit No.10014/2017
to appointment of new Advocate the reply was drafted in short span of
time and therefore, it requires clarification to be brought on record.
Therefore, it is necessary that by way of proposed amendment the
respondents seek to clarify the ambiguity by altering and amending
their reply. It will not change the defence nor it will cause prejudice to
the other side. They are not intending to improve their case and
therefore, prayed that in the interest of justice and equity chamber
summons be allowed and they be permitted to carry out their reply to
the charity application.
3. After service of the chamber respondent No.9 submitted that they
did not want to file reply to the chamber summons. Learned counsel
for applicants not appeared to file reply. On the other hand another
respondents have also not objected for the same.
4. In the backdrop of this and after going through the submissions
of respondents if present respondents are permitted to clarify the
circumstances, it will not change the nature of defence put forth by
them in their reply towards charity application nor it will create new
case. On the other hand for proper appreciation of the facts and to
remove the ambiguity, they sought amendment by seeking some
alterations in the reply.
5. Therefore, to determine the real questions of controversy
involved between the parties, the proposed amendment needs to be
allowed. It will not change the nature of defence nor it will cause
prejudice or injury to the other side. It is even not barred by law of
limitation or bar of commencement of trial come into picture. Due
diligence is shown by the respondent when they have come across to

the errors due to inadvertence and bonafide mistake, which sought to
be rectified to clear the ambiguity in respect of pleadings.
6. The reasons mentioned that in short span of time after
appointment of new Advocate the draft reply was prepared, may be one
of the reason, which is reasonably explained. Therefore, if proposed
amendment is brought on record it will subserve the ends of justice
and it will also helpful to decide the matter properly, effectually and
completely. In the circumstances, it will be proper to direct the parties
to bear their costs. Hence, proposed amendment in the reply sought by
way of this chamber summons needs to be made absolute. Hence, I
proceed to pass the following order :
