It is also agreed by the counsel for the parties that the plaintiff/appellant’s request for appropriate amendment in CS(OS) No.1529/2011 seeking the reliefs that are sought in CS(OS) no.480/2013 may be considered, in the light of the contentions advanced by the parties and order made in accordance with law.

8. Nothing stated in this order would be construed as an expression on the merits of the case of either of the parties.

9. The observations by the learned Single Judge on the merits of the appellant’s contention shall not be conclusive on the contentions which may be available to him in law.
