Order 6 Rule 17 CPC | Pre-Trial Amendments Must Be Liberally Allowed to Ensure Substantive Justice, Even Without Exact Knowledge Dates : MP HC Gwalior
The Madhya Pradesh High Court has ruled that amendments to pleadings under Order 6 Rule 17 CPC must be permitted generously at the pre-trial stage to resolve the real dispute between parties, even when the exact date of discovering new facts is unascertainable. This reinforces that procedural technicalities must yield to substantive justice in civil litigation, particularly in property disputes where encroachments arise during pendency.
