1996 (10) TMI 523 - SC - Indian Laws

Summary

The Supreme Court allowed the petition for amendment of the plaint in a case where the original suit was for settlement of accounts but was sought to be converted into a suit for damages. The Court held that the amendment did not introduce any new cause of action and was based on the original cause of action, so the High Court was correct in granting the amendment. The Special Leave Petition was dismissed.
