THIS PETITION, COMING ON FOR PRELIMINARY HEARING IN 'B' GROUP, THIS DAY, ORDER WAS MADE THEREIN AS UNDER:
CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE VIJAYKUMAR A. PATIL
ORAL ORDER
This writ petition is filed challenging the order dated 12.10.2022 passed on IA No.14 in O.S.No.368/2013 by the I Additional Civil Judge and JMFC, Maddur (hereinafter referred to as 'the Trial Court').

learned counsel for respondent Nos.1 to 4 and Sri G.B. Nandish Gowda, learned counsel for respondent No.5 and perused the material on record.
3. The petitioner had filed O.S. No.368/2013 seeking the relief of partition and separate possession. In the said suit, the petitioner filed an application in I.A. No.14 under Section 151 of Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 (for short 'CPC') seeking to recall the order dated

20.02.2020 passed on I.A. No.9 and the order dated 22.09.2021 passed on I.A. No.13, which were passed mistakenly by the Court due to a misconception regarding the provisions of Order VII Rule 3 of the CPC and seeking to allow the application filed by the applicant/plaintiff for insertion of three items of properties in the plaint schedule.
4. Perused the averments made in the application, the objections filed by the defendant and the impugned
order.
5. It is to be noticed that the petitioner had filed I.A. Nos.9 and 13 dated 20.02.2020 and 22.09.2021, respectively, seeking to insert three items in the plaint schedule, which came to be rejected by the Trial Court. The said orders have attained finality. The present application is filed under Section 151 of the CPC to recall the said orders, contending that the earlier applications were filed under a misconception and again seeking to

allow the application for insertion of the three items of properties in the plaint schedule properties.
6. The Trial Court, considering the earlier two applications referred to supra and taking note of the fact that, while rejecting the applications on the earlier occasions, it had provided an opportunity to the plaintiff to produce the necessary documents to substantiate the claim for amendment, however, the petitioner failed to produce the same even along with the application in I.A. No.14 and the Trial Court proceeded to reject the application. I do not find any error or perversity in the impugned order calling for interference. The writ petition is devoid of merit and is accordingly rejected.
