Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the rejection of the amendment application to increase the valuation of the suit property from Rs. 13,50,000 to Rs. 1,20,00,000 was erroneous. The Court emphasized that amendments should be allowed unless they change the nature of the suit or cause irreparable harm to the defendant, which was not the case here. The Court set aside the High Court's judgment and permitted the appellant to amend the plaint, thereby allowing the correct valuation of the property to be stated.
