Judgment text excerpt
The case concerns an appeal against a High Court order confirming the trial court's rejection of an application to amend a plaint in a suit for recovery of fees.

The legal issue revolves around the discretionary power of the court to allow amendments to pleadings under the Code of Civil Procedure.
