#ejectment suit

Calcutta High Court dismisses a tenant’s third attempt to amend pleadings after 15 years, holding that Order 6 Rule 17 CPC bars amendments when facts were known earlier and evidence is already closed. The ruling reinforces procedural discipline, preventing tactical delays in civil litigation.

The Punjab & Haryana High Court ruled that a defendant cannot invoke Section 60 of the Indian Easements Act to claim an irrevocable license without explicit pleading. Revenue records hold primacy as title evidence, and defendants asserting ownership cannot later rely on permissive possession to resist ejectment. The ruling underscores the necessity of precise pleadings in property disputes.
