T.N. Alloy Foundry Co. Ltd vs T.N. Electricity Board And Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the High Court to reject the appellant's application for amendment of the plaint in a damages suit, emphasizing that while the power to allow amendments exists, it is subject to the discretion of the court and must consider factors such as limitation. The Court referred to the precedent set in L.J. Leach and Co. Ltd. v. Messrs Jardine Skinner and Co., clarifying that the appellate court has co-extensive powers with the trial court. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed with no order as to costs.
