Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the rejection of the appellant's application for amendment of the plaint to correct the date of the agreement from 17.1.2004 to 17.1.2005 was erroneous. The Court emphasized that the two applications for amendment were distinct and should not be barred by res judicata. The Court allowed the appeal, thereby permitting the amendment to rectify the typographical error in the agreement date, reinforcing the principle that amendments should be allowed to ensure justice and the true intent of the parties is reflected in the pleadings.
