Amendment of Pleadings-- Delay Alone Not Ground for Refusal
Under Order 6 Rule 17 of the Civil Procedure Code, 1908, amendment of pleadings must be allowed if required for proper adjudication and to avoid multiplicity of proceedings. Mere delay in filing an amendment application is not sufficient ground for refusal, as delay can be compensated by costs. An amendment that is ancillary to the main relief and does not change the nature of the suit must ordinarily be permitted.
