Amendments to pleadings that do not introduce new claims may be allowed even after the trial has commenced, emphasizing judicial discretion in such matters.
High Court's jurisdiction under Article 227 is to ensure subordinate courts act within their authority; amendments to pleadings must be sought in good faith and with due diligence.
A plaintiff must state a cause of action and the question of limitation is to be determined at trial, not through an application to reject the plaint.
Amendments to pleadings must not alter the nature of the suit and must be sought with due diligence, particularly before trial commencement; claims based on adverse possession are limited to a 12-yea....
Amendments to the plaint should be allowed unless they change the nature of the suit or prejudice the defendants.
Revision under Art.227 allows interference only in cases of jurisdictional errors or patent perversities, which were not found here.
