As per case facts, two revision petitions were filed by Bikramjit Singh, challenging trial court orders that dismissed his applications to amend the written statement in specific performance suits filed
...in 2018. The petitioner, despite having legal representation throughout the proceedings, filed the amendment application after issues were framed on 23.01.2025, claiming his previous written statement was improperly filed. The trial court noted continuous delays by the defendants. The petitioner appealed, arguing the impugned orders of 25.07.2025 were illegal. The question arose whether the amendment application, filed post-commencement of trial without due diligence, should be allowed under Order 6 Rule 17 CPC. Finally, the High Court upheld the trial court's decision, stating that the application was rightly dismissed as it lacked due diligence and was filed after the trial commenced, thus being hit by the proviso to Order 6 Rule 17 CPC. The court found no error of law or jurisdictional overreach by the trial court.
