Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the rejection of the application for amendment of plaint in a suit for eviction and mesne profits was erroneous. The Court emphasized that the amendment sought by the appellant was necessary to resolve the real controversy, allowing for the consolidation of claims for mesne profits and air tickets. The Court set aside the High Court's order affirming the trial court's rejection and permitted the amendment, reinforcing the principle that amendments should facilitate the determination of the true issues in dispute under Order 6 Rule 17 of the Code of Civil Procedure.
