Such an amendment is ordinarily impermissible if it introduces a new cause of action, alters the fundamental nature of the suit, or prejudices the opposite party by defeating accrued rights or a limitation defence. Amendments may be allowed only when they are necessary for effective adjudication, made bona fide, and do not cause irreparable prejudice beyond compensation by costs. On these principles, the amendment was disallowed because it would have changed the character of the suit and withdrawn admissions. en-us Fri, 09 Oct 2009 00:00:00 +0530 Thu, 19 Oct 2023 14:46:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=200765 A plaint amendment under Order VI Rule 17 CPC is subject to a stricter standard than amendment of a written statement, particularly where it seeks to delete admissions or substitute a different basis for relief.
