THIS PETITION, COMING ON FOR PRELIMINARY HEARING IN ‘B’ GROUP, THIS DAY, ORDER WAS MADE THEREIN AS UNDER: - 3 - HC-KAR CNR: KAHC010526862022 NC: 2026:KHC:42861 W.P. No.22749/2022 CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE VIJAYKUMAR A. PATIL ORAL ORDER This writ petition is filed challenging the order dated 03.04.2019 passed on I.A.No.7 in O.S.No.9305/2013 by the XXIX Additional City Civil Judge, Bengaluru (for short, 'the trial Court'). 2. The petitioners-plaintiffs had filed a suit in O.S.No.9305/2013 against the respondent-defendant for recovery of a sum of ₹14,99,903.28 with interest at the rate of 12% per annum. In the said suit, the defendant appeared and filed the written statement. The parties adduced the evidence. Thereafter, the plaintiffs filed an application in I.A.No.7 under Order VI Rule 17 read with Section 151 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, (for short, 'the CPC') seeking to amend the plaint by incorporating additional pleading in the end of paragraph No.16 of the plaint. The said application was duly considered by the trial Court and rejected the same. - 4 - HC-KAR CNR: KAHC010526862022 NC: 2026:KHC:42861 W.P. No.22749/2022 3. It is to be noticed that the plaintiffs are contending that the defendant came to the Architect's office and gave a letter to one Mr.Prabhakar S.V. by which he has acknowledged the liability and rate of interest. It is to be noticed that the said letter is already placed before the trial Court and the said Prabhakar S.V. is examined by the plaintiffs. The proposed pleading sought is admittedly when the matter is posted for final arguments in the suit and considering the said aspect, the trial Court has rejected the said application. I do not find any error or perversity in the order of the trial Court calling for interference in view of the fact that the said letter is already placed before the Court in the form of evidence. Hence, the writ petition is devoid of merits and the same is rejected. No orders as to costs. Sd/- (VIJAYKUMAR A. PATIL) JUDGE BSR/List No.: 1 Sl No.: 29
