K. RAHEJA CONSTRN. vs ALLIANCE MINISTRIES

The Supreme Court held that the petitioners' application for amendment of the plaint under Order 6 Rule 17 was rightly dismissed by the trial court and the High Court, as the petitioners failed to demonstrate a new cause of action for specific performance of the contract. The Court emphasized that the petitioners had already acknowledged a concluded contract and were merely seeking to formalize a relief not originally claimed. Consequently, the petition for special leave was dismissed, affirming the lower courts' decisions.
