Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the rejection of the appellant's application to amend the plaint to correct the date of an agreement from 17.1.2004 to 17.1.2005 was erroneous. The Court found that the two amendment applications were distinct, and the second application did not constitute res judicata as it sought to rectify a typographical error rather than re-litigate the same issue. The Court allowed the appeal, emphasizing the importance of allowing amendments to ensure justice and the correct representation of facts in legal documents.
