in case Mr. X can prove that he is in adverse possession since more than 30 years by leading documentary evidence, order 2 rule 2 may not be attracted if the same plea was not taken in the earlier suit. in case the present suit, against which the appeal is filed and only interim application is dismissed, an amendment application can be filed before the trial court despite there being an appeal against the interim order.
