RAJESHWAR SINGH . vs STATE OF H.P. . — C.A. No. 185/2002

Summary of Civil Appeal No. 185 of 2002 The Supreme Court allowed Rajeshwar Singh's civil appeal against the High Court of Himachal Pradesh's order that had rejected his application to amend the plaint. The High Court had disallowed the amendment on grounds that it introduced a new cause of action and changed the suit from one on accounts to a claim for specific sum; however, the Supreme Court found only the nature of relief was altered, not factual elements. The Court set aside the impugned order, allowed the amendment application, and directed the amendment be carried out within four weeks, reserving respondents' right to raise all available defences when the matter proceeds.
