Multiplicity of suits will be avoided, where the amendment does not alter the subject matter or the cause of action of the suit, where it does not take away any accrued right, where the plaintiff becomes entitled to further relief by reason of events subsequent to the filing of the suit,

 An amendment in pleadings may be allowed where multiplicity of suits will be avoided, where the amendment does not alter the subject matter or the cause of action of the suit, where it does not take away any accrued right, where the plaintiff becomes entitled to further relief by reason of events subsequent to the filing of the suit, where the cause of action needs amplification, where the interests of safe and accurate administration of justice so require, where on account of a plaintiffs’ evidence a new statutory line of defence gets triggered, where no injustice will be caused, where a relief has inadvertently been left out – the list is not exhaustive but just an attempt at cataloguing instances where it will be in line with trite and established law to allow amendment in pleadings under Order VI, Rule 17 C.P.C.
