No.23264/2025 that the respondents have no objection to carry out the said correction, I am of the view that the interest of justice would be met if the writ petition is allowed by ordering the aforesaid correction in the plaint and the decree of the Trial Court. 7. Accordingly, I proceed to pass the following: ORDER (1) The writ petition is allowed. (2) The order dated 10.07.2025 passed on I.A.No.4 in O.S.No. 8562/2024 by the XIV Additional City Civil and Sessions Judge, Bengaluru City, is set aside. (3) Consequently I.A.No.4 is allowed. The petitioners are permitted to carry out the necessary amendment in the plaint. Consequently, the Trial Court shall carry out the necessary correction in the decree. No order as to costs.
