In support of this contention, the learned counsel for the petitioners/defendants have also relied upon the judgment reported in 2006(3) CTC 27 [D.Ramanujam Vs. R.Panneerselvam].
In this regard, a reference could be placed in the judgment reported in (2000)1 SCC 712 [B.K.Narayana Pillai Vs. Parameswaran Pillai and another] wherein it has been held that no amendment should be allowed which amounts to or results in defeating a legal right accruing to the opposite party on account of lapse of time.
