amendment is a clarification in respect of the relief prayed by the
plaintiff. If the proposed amendment is allowed, nature of the suit will
not be changed. The consequential relief prayed by the plaintiff doesn't
change the nature of the suit. The plaintiff seek rectification of the
document executed in between the defendant no.1 and 2. Thus, it is a
mixed question of law and facts. Therefore, there is no hurdle of
Limitation Act in allowing amendment.
4. The defendant no.1 and 2 opposed the chamber summons
on a ground that, in the entire application not a single reason
mentioned for the delay caused in filing chamber summons. The nature
of amendment is beyond the period of limitation. The relief prayed by
the plaintiff by way of proposed amendment change the nature of the
suit.
5. I have gone through the proposed amendment. It reveals
that the plaintiff seek rectification of the document took place in
between defendant no.1 and defendant no.2. The defendant no.1 could
not sold the property which he has not received from his previous
owner. Therefore, plaintiff seeks rectification of document. In my
opinion the document executed is inter se between the defendants. So
about the limitation it is a mixed question of law and facts.
6. I have gone through the nature of amendment. It is
certainly clarification in the pleading. So nature of the suit will not be
changed by the proposed amendment. The basic principle of the
amendment is to resolve all the dispute in between the parties in one
litigation so as to avoid the multiplicity of the litigation. So considering
all above aspects, I am of the opinion that by the proposed amendment

nature of the suit will not be changed. No hardship will be caused to the
defendant as he will get the right to resist the amendment. In the suit,
still issues were not framed. Thus, considering all above aspects, I pass
the following order :
ORDER
