The power to amend exists where the change is needed to determine the real controversy and advance substantial justice, even if the plaint might otherwise be vulnerable to rejection for want of a cause of action. If the defect can be cured without injustice to the other side, amendment may be allowed to avoid rejection of the plaint and the need for a fresh suit. Prior decisions cited to the contrary were treated as fact-specific and not as laying down a different principle. en-us Mon, 28 Oct 1991 00:00:00 +0530 Mon, 29 Jan 2018 16:49:03 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=198342 Amendment of a plaint under Order 6 Rule 17 CPC is not limited or controlled by Order 7 Rule 11 CPC.
