Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the distinction between Order VIII Rule 9 and Order VI Rule 17 of the Code of Civil Procedure, emphasizing that the introduction of a Will after the commencement of trial is not permissible if it alters the rights of the parties involved. The Court upheld the High Court's dismissal of the appellant's Civil Revision Petition, affirming that the late introduction of the Will would significantly change the claims in the partition suit. The ruling reinforces the procedural integrity of civil proceedings as outlined in the Code of Civil Procedure.
