Order VI Rule 17 CPC | Inconsistent Pleas Permissible in Plaint Amendment If Foundational Facts Remain Unaltered : Bombay HC
Bombay HC rules that a plaintiff can amend a plaint to seek specific performance of an MOU even after alleging forgery of certain pages, provided the core facts remain unchanged and no prejudice is caused to the defendant. This holding reinforces the flexibility of pleadings under Order VI Rule 17 CPC, allowing litigants to refine legal strategies without being barred by prior inconsistent claims.
