Peethani Suryanarayana & Anr vs Repaka Venkata Ramana Kishore & Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the jurisdiction of civil courts regarding amendments to plaints post-final decree, specifically under Section 151 of the Code of Civil Procedure. The Court held that while amendments may be permissible, they cannot alter the substantive rights of parties involved, particularly after a decree has been passed. The Court upheld the High Court's decision to allow a clerical amendment, emphasizing that such amendments should not affect the interests of other parties, thus affirming the finality of the decree.
