1969 (3) TMI 71 - SUPREME COURTPower to grant amendment of the pleadings - Held that:- Appeal allowed. The power to grant amendment of the pleadings is intended to serve the ends of justice and is not governed by any such narrow or technical limitations. Since the name in which the action was instituted was merely a misdescription of the original plaintiff, no question of limitation arises - the plaint must be deemed on amendment to have been instituted in the name of the real plaintiff, on the date on which it was originally instituted - the order passed by the Trial Court in granting the amendment was clearly right. The proceedings will stand remanded to the High Court for disposal according to law on the merits of the dispute between the parties.
