JUDGMENT

Navin Chawla, J.

I.A. 7716/2019 in CS(COMM) 46/2019

1. The present application has been filed by the plaintiff under Order VI Rule 17 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 (in short, 'CPC') seeking an amendment to the cause title of the suit by substituting its name from 'Philips Lighting Holding BV' to 'Signify Holding BV'. The plaintiff asserts that subsequent to the filing of the present suit, on 01.02.2019, the plaintiff underwent a corporate name change from 'Philips Lighting Holding BV' to 'Signify Holding BV'. A declaration of the Notary Public showing an amendment to the Articles of Association of the plaintiff-company and the change of the plaintiff-company's name to 'Signify Holding BV' has been filed along with the application.

2. The defendants oppose the present application contending therein that the plaintiff has filed the above two suits, that is, CS(COMM) 46 of 2019 and CS(COMM) 76 of 2019, in different names. Though the plaintiff-company claims to have changed its name to 'Signify Holding BV' on 01.02.2019, but the documents filed by the plaintiff show that the resolution for the change of name of the plaintiff-company was passed in November, 2018, that is
