DEVDHARI SAH AND OTHERS vs HIRA SAH AND OTHERS — 10/2023

SUMMARY: The court rejected the plaintiff's application for amendment to the plaint filed on 22.01.2024 under CPC Order 6 Rule 17. The court found that the proposed amendment would substantially change the nature and character of the suit by replacing the disputed property originally described in paragraph 2 of the plaint with a different property, thereby altering the entire subject matter of the dispute and creating new controversies. Since amendments that fundamentally alter the nature of the case are not permissible after commencement of proceedings, the application was dismissed and the case was directed to proceed on its original pleadings dated 04.03.2024. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
