HEERALAL vs KALYAN MAL — C.A. No. 7852/1997

Summary of Heeralal v. Kalyan Mal (CA 007852/1997) Decision: The Supreme Court partially allowed the appeal, rejecting the High Court's order that permitted defendants to withdraw admissions regarding 5 of 7 joint family properties in Schedule-A. The Court held that once defendants admitted these properties were joint family assets in which the plaintiff held a 1/3 share, they could not later amend their written statement to contradict those admissions, as this would irretrievably prejudice the plaintiff. However, the Court upheld the High Court's allowance of amendments concerning Schedule-B properties, where no initial admissions favoring the plaintiff existed.
