The plaintiff filed an application (I.A. No. 11) to amend their plaint to increase their claimed share of the suit properties from 1/3 to 1/2 based on their mother's death. The defendant opposed the amendment, arguing it would cause irreparable loss. However, the court approved the amendment, finding it would not change the nature of the suit or cause of action. Additionally, rejecting the amendment could lead to multiplicity of proceedings.

I.A.No. 11 is filed under Order 6 Rule 17 r/w sec.
151 CPC praying that plaintiff may be permitted to amend the plaint as prayed.
It is contended in affidavit that plaintiff had filed
suit for partition seeking 1/3rd share. During pendency of present suit his mother expired and now he is entitled for half share in suit schedule properties. Therefore, it is prayed that application may be allowed. Per contra, it is contention of defendant No.2 that application is filed to harass defendants . If the application is allowed, it will cause irreparable loss to defendants. It is prayed that application may be dismissed.
Heard both sides. Perused records.
Plaintiff is intending to amend his share on the
basis of subsequent events. Proposed amendment would neither change nature of suit nor cause of action. The main contention of defendant No.2 is that plaintiff is not entitled to amend his share. He would have an opportunity to rebut case of plaintiff. If the application is rejected, it would lead to multiplicity of proceeding. Therefore, I am of considered opinion that ends of justice would be met if present application is allowed. In the result, I pass the following: ORDER I.A.No.11 filed by plaintiff under Order 6 Rule 17 r/w 151 CPC is allowed.

ORDERS ON I.A.NO.9 and 10
I.A.No.9 is filed under Sec. 151 CPC by plaintiff praying that the case may be re-opened. I.A.No.10 is filed under Order 18 Rule 17 r/w sec.151 CPC by plaintiff praying that order dated: 29.5.2018 may be recalled and he may be permitted to cross-examine DW.1. It is contended in affidavits that on 29.5.2018 he had not attended Court as he had undergone surgery. His advocate was held up in Hon’ble High Court and Junior advocate was busy in Magistrate Court. Therefore, they could not attend the Court and the Court discharged DW.1. They may be permitted to cross- examine DW.1. It is prayed that applications may be allowed. Per contra, it is contention of defendants that plaintiff was not diligent in prosecuting the case. No grounds are made out by plaintiff for recall of DW.1. It is prayed that applications may be dismissed.
Heard both sides. Perused records.
Plaintiff is seeking permission to cross-examine DW.1. If the applications are rejected, it would lead to multiplicity of proceeding. Therefore, I am of considered opinion that ends of justice would be met if present applications are allowed on costs of Rs.1,000/- each.
In the result, I pass the following:
ORDER I.A.9 and I.A.No.10 filed by plaintiff under sec.151 C.P.C. are allowed on costs of Rs.1,000/- each. Plaintiff shall cross-examine DW.1 without seeking adjournments. For costs, amendment , amended plaint and cross of DW.1 by 02.11.2018.
