Mahavir Prasad & Anr vs Ratan Lal & Anr

The Supreme Court addressed the appeal against the Rajasthan High Court's order allowing an amendment to the plaint under Order 6 Rule 17 of the CPC. The Court held that the amendment sought by Ratan Lal to claim ownership of the entire trust property was permissible as it did not change the nature of the suit but rather clarified the existing claims. The Court emphasized that amendments should be allowed to ensure that all relevant issues are adjudicated, particularly when the amendment relates to the rights of a sole heir. The appeal was dismissed, upholding the High Court's decision.
