Karuthakkan Nadar vs The Tamil Nadu Electricity Board ... on 19 January, 2001
In case of Pirgonda Hongonda Patil v. Kalgonda Shidgonda Patil and Ors. 1957 S.C.R. 595 : A.I.R. 1957 S.C. 363, this Court has held that the test for allowing the amendment is to find out whether the proposed amendment works any serious injustice to the other side. It is well settled that the Court should be extremely liberal in granting prayer of amendment of pleading unless serious injustice or irreparable loss is caused to the other side. It is also clear that a revisional Court ought not to lightly interfere with a discretion exercised in allowing amendment in absence of cogent reasons or compelling circumstances.
