• Tenant filed an application under Order VI Rule 17 CPC for amendment of written statement; dismissed on 17.11.2025.
• Tenant subsequently moved an application for production of certain documents from the plaintiff.
• Court observed that these successive filings indicate intentional delay by the tenant.
