Full Judgment
IN THE HIGH COURT OF JHARKHAND AT RANCHI W.P.(S). No. 7174 of 2012 Santosh Kumar .. Petitioner Versus The Union of India & Others .. Respondents ----- CORAM: HONBLE MR. JUSTICE NARENDRA NATH TIWARI ----- For the Petitioner - Mr. Amit Sinha, Advocate For the Respondents - Mr. Mokhtar Khan, ASGI ----- I.A. No. 332/2013 06/31.7.2013 In this I.A., the petitioner has prayed for addition of prayer and amendment in the writ petition. It has been stated that during pendency of the writ petition, the respondent-revisional authority has passed the order enhancing punishment without any cogent ground. The petitioner seeks to challenge the said order by adding a prayer and amending the writ petition to that regard. It has been submitted that the amendment prayed for is based on the same factual background and the same, if allowed, would not change the nature of the writ petition. Learned Assistant Solicitor General of India, appearing on behalf of the respondents, has no objection in allowing the amendment prayed for by the petitioner. Considering that the amendment prayed for is a subsequent event, which is closely related to the subject matter and the prayer made in the writ petition and that the same, if allowed, would not change the nature of the writ petition, the amendment prayed for is allowed. I.A. is disposed of. (Narendra Nath Tiwari,J) W.P.(S). No. 7174 of 2012 This writ petition shall be heard. Since the respondents have already appeared and filed counter affidavit, no notice needs be issued. (Narendra Nath Tiwari,J) Rakesh/
