Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Gujarat High Court allowing the amendment of the plaint in Regular Civil Suit No.669 of 1985, which sought to implead the Town Planner and Surat Municipal Corporation as defendants. The Court emphasized the importance of allowing amendments to ensure that all relevant parties are included in the proceedings, particularly when the plaintiff's peaceful possession of the land was in question. The ruling reinforced the principle that amendments should be permitted to avoid multiplicity of litigation and to ensure complete justice under the Civil Procedure Code.
