Varun Pahwa vs Renu Chaudhary

The Supreme Court held that the trial court's refusal to allow amendment of the plaint was erroneous, as the amendment sought to correct an inadvertent drafting mistake regarding the plaintiff's identity. The Court emphasized that amendments should not be denied due to minor errors or negligence, as procedural rules serve justice rather than hinder it. The Court overturned the High Court's decision and allowed the amendment, reinforcing the principle that substantive rights should not be defeated by technicalities.
