Code of Civil Procedure, 1908–Order 6, Rule 17 r/w. Sec. 151–Rejection of application–Justification–Petitioner sought to amend the claim petition and prayed that the time of accident was wrongly mentioned due to typographical error–In the letter addressed to the Medical Officer, it was clearly stated that the accident occurred at 9.00 a.m. on 03.04.2017–Notice issued u/s. 133 also shows the time 9.15 a.m.–Witnesses also deposed about this time–Tribunal took a over pedantic view that the evidence has already been recorded and the application cannot be entertained at the belated stage–If the application is allowed, there would be no need to adduce any additional evidence–Application deserves to be allowed.
