At that stage, petitioners filed LA.No.410 of 2023 under Order VI Rule 17 read with Section 151 of CPC seeking to amend the plaint and also seeking additional reliefs in the plaint, as "Add para No.9 after "There from" add the following Iines and cause of action for the suit further arose on 04.02.29021when the Revenue Special Tribunal, Suryapet Diskict has dismissed the revision petition filed by the plaintiffs and also when the defendants No.2 and 3 have filed a false injunction suit against the plaintiffs vide O.S.No.100 of 2022 before the Hon'ble Junior Civil Judge at Thungadrurthy and all subsequent days the defendant No.2 to 5 and 9 are making illegal acts over the suit schedule properties.

4. Learned counsel for petitioners had contended that in view of subsequent developmer-rts that have taken place, the amendments and additional reliefs in the plaint sought for by the petitioners have become necessary in orcler to address the injunction suit filed by the respondent Nos.2 and 3 against the petitioners in O.S.No.10O of 2022 ) before the Junior Civil Judge at Thungathurthy. Therefore, petitioners sought to amend the plaint, as referred above. ( l
5. The respondent Nos.2, 3 and 9 filed counter resisting the application and contended that application is not maintainable in the eye of law as no cau se of action shall be joined with a suit for recovery of immovable property and ftirther, it is contended that when the matter is coming up for evidence, this applicaLion is filed only to protract the matter. It is also the specific case of the respondents that petitioners herein made efforts to occupy the land of the 3.d respondent and damaged the standing cotton crop and on a complaint filed bv the 3.a respondent, a criminal case in Crime No.113 of 2022 was registered against the petitioners under Sections 447 , 427 r / w 34 of IPC and there are no merits in the application and prayed to dismiss the application 6 The triat Cosrt rtide impugned order dismissed the application with an observation that amendment sought for by the petitioners is vague and it also amounts to change of the nature of the suit. It was further observed that there is no clarity in the contention of the petitioners whether they are in possession of the property or not. The trial Court also observed that the amendments sought by the petitioners amount to different reliefs, which could not be pleaded in consonance with the relief prayed for in the plaint.
7. The learned counsel for the petitioners contended that the amendments were sought only to avoid multipticitl, of litigation. It is further contended that the respondents filed a suit in O.S.No.100 of 2022 for perpetual injunction concerniug item No.2 of the schedule properties and are attempting to dispossess the petitioners from the suit schedule property. In the event of dispossessiorr, the Petitioners would be compelled to seek an alternative remedy, therefore, an application was filed for recovery of possession in anticipation of dispossession
8. In considered opinion of this Court, amendments sought in the application cannot be granted as the same amounts to change of the nafure of the suit and further, amendment sought is contrary to the main relief in the suit. As rightly observed by the trial Court, the petitioners have no clarity whether they are in possession of suit schedule property or not. A party cannot seek a relief of recovery of possession in anticipation of loss of possession. Further, no cause of action has arisen for the petitioners to seek remecly of relief for recovery of possession when they are contending that they are in L ;t:tl. - . . ..,: -.:l':::ir.. ...,:- ,l 5 possession of the suit schedule property and in fac! sought injunction against the respondents. Therefore, the trial Court has rightly dismissed the application and petitioners failed to point out any itlegality or irreguiarity in the impugned order and also failed to make out any ground to interfere with the impugned order.
9. Accordingly, the Civil Revision Petition is dismissed. It is made ciear that during the pendency of the sui! petitioners are at liberty to avail any remedy available in law. 't'here shall be no order as to costs. Pending miscellaneous applications, if any, shall stand closed. SD/- MOHD.ISMAIL DEPUTY REGISTRAR To, //TRUE COPY// V SECTION OFFICER '1.
