Chander Kanta Bansal vs Rajinder Singh Anand

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to set aside the trial court's order allowing the amendment of the written statement under Order VI Rule 17 and Section 151 CPC. The Court emphasized that amendments should not be allowed if they introduce a new case or change the nature of the original case, which was the situation here as the appellant sought to introduce a forged document. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's ruling that the amendment was not permissible.
