Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the rejection of an application for amendment of a written statement should be approached with a liberal mindset, as established in various precedents, including Ma Shwe Mya v. Maung Mo Hnaung (AIR 1922 P.C. 2). The Court emphasized that amendments should be allowed unless they cause serious injustice or irreparable loss to the opposing party. In this case, the Court found that the High Court and Trial Court erred in rejecting the amendment application, thus allowing the appeal and permitting the amendment of the written statement.
