Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the application for leave to amend the written statement under Order VI Rule 17 of the CPC, emphasizing that the appellants failed to demonstrate due diligence before the trial commenced. The Court upheld the Gujarat High Court's decision to reject the appellants' application for interim relief and affirmed the lower court's jurisdiction in the matter. The ruling clarified the procedural requirements for amendments in civil suits, reinforcing the necessity of timely action by parties involved.
