Judgment text excerpt
The case concerns an application under Order VI Rule 17 of the CPC to amend a plaint in a suit for permanent prohibitory injunction. The plaintiff sought to amend the plaint to state that they were forcibly dispossessed by the defendant during the pendency of the suit. The Court examined whether such a subsequent event occurring after the filing of the suit could be converted into a suit for possession based on an amendment.
