Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision under Section 115 CPC, which confirmed the trial court's allowance of amendments to the plaint in a Title Suit. The amendments were deemed necessary to address the defendant's claim of ownership through a sale deed and to challenge its validity. The Court held that the amendments were not time-barred and that the plaintiffs acted in good faith, thereby dismissing the appeal of the petitioner-defendant.
