Judgment text excerpt

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 established by a final decree. The Court dismissed the appellants' revision application, affirming the High Court's decision to allow a clerical amendment to the decree, thus upholding the finality of the decree.
