Whether the court can allow amendment of plaint to correct four boundaries of suit property after commencement of trial?

True it is that the plaintiffs have sought to

completely alter the boundaries of the suit property in

all four directions by amending the plaint. The

amendment was opposed on the ground that the

plaintiffs were trying to fill up serious lacuna in their

case. Be that as it may. Trial in the suit is yet to

progress. In such a case, plaintiffs would be at liberty

to correctly describe the suit property by removing any

error. The trial court has not committed any error while

allowing amendment application by imposing costs.

Petition is devoid of any merits. Petition stands

dismissed without any order as to costs. {Para 3}
