Andhra Bank vs Abn Amro Bank N.V. And Ors

The Supreme Court held that the Special Court's rejection of the appellant's application for amendment of the written statement was erroneous. The Court emphasized that delay alone is not a sufficient ground to deny an amendment, as established in various precedents. The Court allowed the amendment, reinforcing the principle that amendments should be permitted to ensure that all relevant issues are adjudicated, particularly when they pertain to the maintainability of the suit under the Special Court (Trial of Offences relating to Transactions in Securities) Act, 1992.
