Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the Rent Tribunal and the High Court erred in rejecting the appellant's applications under Order 6 Rule 17 and Order 7 Rule 14(3) of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, read with Section 21 of the Rajasthan Rent Control Act, 2001. The Court established that amendments to pleadings and the introduction of additional documents are permissible to ensure justice and fair trial, especially when they are relevant to the case. Consequently, the Court allowed the appeals and directed the Rent Tribunal to consider the applications afresh.
