Bhag Singh vs CANARA Bank and others CWP No. 1575 of 20 15 27.07.2026 Present: Mr. Sparsh Bhushan, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. Sanjay Dalmia, Advocate for respondents No. 1 and 2.. Respondent No. 3 already ex parte. CMP No. 19672 of 2024 By way of this application filed under Order 6 Rule 17, of the CPC, a prayer has been made to add Ground (e) after Ground (d) in the relief clause. Learned counsel for the applicant/petitioner submits that in light of what transpired during the course of the hearing of the petition and in light of the observations made by the Court, this application has been filed so that there is a formal challenge to the verbal termination order. On the other hand, learned counsel for the respondent submitted that the application has been filed belatedly and just to fill up the lacunae and therefore, the application is not maintainable. Having heard learned counsel for the parties and having perused the averments made in the application and reply, this Court is of the considered view that it would be in the interest of justice in case the application is allowed as prayed for. The prayer is only for the amendment of the relief clause. As per the learned counsel for the applicant/petitioner, the ingredients of challenge to the verbal termination are already contained in the writ petition. In the backdrop of these facts, this Court is of the considered view that in case the amendment is allowed, it will only facilitate the adjudication of the petition and otherwise also, no prejudice will be caused to the respondents if the prayer is allowed as it does not alter the case earlier put up by the petitioner. Accordingly, this application is allowed. The proposed amendment is allowed to be incorporated in the petition. The application is disposed of. CWP No. 1575 of 2015 This Court has allowed an application filed under Order 6 Rule 17 of the C.P.C, praying for amendment in the writ petition. As the amendment is only to the prayer clause of the writ petition and the contents of the writ petition are not being amended, no reply is required to be filed to the amended petition. Now list for consideration after two weeks. (Ajay Mohan Goel) Judge July 27, 2026 (narender)
