Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision allowing an amendment to the plaint under Order VI Rule 17 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, which enables parties to alter pleadings to determine real questions in controversy. The Court emphasized that amendments should be permitted to ensure justice and that the High Court did not err in allowing the amendment despite the trial's commencement. The appeal against the High Court's order was dismissed, affirming the importance of flexibility in civil proceedings to address substantive issues.
