Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the refusal to allow an amendment under Order VI Rule 7 of the Code of Civil Procedure solely because it may affect the jurisdiction of the trial court is not a valid ground for dismissal. The Court set aside the orders of the lower courts which denied the amendment application and directed the trial court to dispose of the suit expeditiously, preferably within six months. The appeal was allowed, emphasizing the need for timely resolution of litigation.
