Code of Civil Procedure, 1908–Order 6, Rule 17–Application for amendment in written statement–Dismissal on the ground of filing it at the belated stage–Suit for partition–Though the application was filed belatedly, yet it neither changes the nature of suit nor the the stand taken in written statement–
Petitioner-defendant’s evidence is yet to be commenced–Amendment would avoid the multiplicity of litigation and help the trial Court to properly adjudicate the suit–Application deserves to be allowed.
