CRP.No.6911 of 2026
6. By the impugned order, the Court below dismissed the said
application on the ground that by virtue of the amendment, the
petitioners/plaintiffs introduced new facts, altered the cause of
action and sought for a larger relief and thereby attempted to alter
the very structure of the plaint. Aggrieved by that, the above
revision has been filed before this Court.
7. On a plain reading of the averments extracted supra that
have been pleaded by the petitioners/plaintiffs,, it can be seen that
the petitioners/plaintiffs are now attempting to come up with new
facts by altering the cause of action and also seeking for a
substantive relief. This has been done post trial and therefore, the

costs. Consequently, the connected CMP is also dismissed.
