M/S. SOUTH KONKAN DISTILLERIES vs PRABHAKAR GAJANAN NAIK .

The Supreme Court held that the application for amendment of the written statement and counter claim was barred by the law of limitation as the cause of action arose in 1986, and the application was filed in 2000, well beyond the prescribed period. The Court affirmed the trial court's decision to reject the amendment application, emphasizing that the delay in seeking amendment was unjustifiable. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, upholding the lower court's ruling.
