Amendment in crpc 125 -which changes the nature of petition

Respected sirs,

I am in deep problem and want some quick advice from learned persons of the forum.

 

my case in brief

498a and 125crpc filed in 2013 simultaneously.

In  the 498a petition the allegations levelled against me and my family members are  weak (as opined by my advocate). Its only 1 (one ) page. The advocate of the opposite party probably forgot to add masala etc so as to make her case strong. 

Now my opposite party realising that their advocate has done a serious blunder, have hired a new and  seasoned advocate.

(498a case has not started yet, chargesheet stage completed)

 In the 125 petition , the allegations levelled against me are nearly the same as in  498a petition.

Now the new lawyer of the opposite party has filed an amendment petition in which he has incorporated a set of new allegations like torturing her, didnt gave food to her, locked her inside the room, extra marital affairs etc. etc etc etc.

My advocate gave a counter reply to the amendment petition and stated that the allegations would change the nature of the suit and the amendment has been specifically done with an oblique motive to make their 498a case strong and hence should not be admitted.

today, the family court has issued the orders and have admitted their (opposite party) amendment petition. now i have the following questions to ask as i am starting to lose faith in my advocate due to the above incident:-

1. what should be my next course of action?

2. If i  approach high court  what is the possibility of family court's order to be stayed?

3. can any one guide me as to what is the procedure from   family court to high court and then high court to family court with respect to challenging the order of family court? 

3. within how many days i have to approach high court from the date of order i.e time bar limitation of such cases?

4. in such a scenario (above discussed) what would be my success rate in staying the order given the judiciary's tilt to female based biased laws?

 

Please forgive me for any grammatical mistakes/inability to express myself, as now i am in a very depressed state of mind due to the courts order.

@ Author,

 

1. Without directly touching your 4 questions before me, I will give you core reply and my reply is to self read below mentioned Apex Court citation after picking it up either from your advocate or from District Court Bar Library and then make an effort to read it thoroughly and understand if action of ld. Judge is right or needs to approach superior Court.


2.
For me it is very easy to reply to all your 4 questions just plain reading of events, but my reply may not help you because what are stated in her S. 125 CrPC application and what she got amend only you or your advocate knows not the forum so making a generic quick reply will not do complete justice to your question is my view hence I am asking you to make self-effort first to understand below quoted Apex Court citation which answers core questions and then see yourself if you need reply to your 4 questions or not.

 

Ref.: State of M.P. Vs. Union of India [(2011) 12 SCC 268]

Held:-

Or. 6 R. 17 CPC and proviso - Amendment of pleadings - Purpose and scope of - Approach of court - Amendment sought after commencement of trial - When permissible - Held, though courts have ample power to allow amendment of plaint but said power should be exercised in interest of justice and for determination of real question in controversy between parties - Either party can alter or amend his pleadings in such manner and on such terms as may be just - However, amendment cannot be claimed as a matter of right and under all circumstances, but the courts while deciding such prayers should not adopt a hypertechnical approach - Liberal approach should be the general rule, particularly in cases where other side can be compensated with costs - Normally, amendments are allowed in pleadings to avoid multiplicity of litigations - Further held, where application is filed after commencement of trial, it must be shown that in spite of due diligence, such amendment could not have been sought earlier [(2011) 12 SCC 268-A]


Or. 6 R. 17 CPC and proviso - Amendment when not permissible - Amendment that would render suit infructuous -Amendment that would introduce a totally different, new and inconsistent case or challenges fundamental character of the suit - Amendment sought after delay of five years and issues already framed - Relief sought by virtue of amendment was not relief that could be granted in suit concerned - Amendment denied [(2011) 12 SCC 268-B]

Thanks a lot to raj sir and Tajobs sir for answering my questions. Tajobs sir, please give me a couple of days to study the above mentioned judgment as I am very poor in interpreting judgments. Still then I would again request you to answer my questions as you would have dealt with such queries and can predict the probable outcomes. Thanks.
