TARA V GANJU vs BASANT & CO..

The Supreme Court allowed the appellant's application for amendment under Order VI Rule 7 of the Code of Civil Procedure, setting aside the lower courts' orders which had dismissed the application on the grounds of jurisdictional concerns. The Court emphasized that the potential for an amendment to affect jurisdiction is not a valid reason to deny such applications. The trial court was directed to dispose of the suit expeditiously, preferably within six months, to prevent further delays in litigation.
