Depends on the case, and subject to High Court's permission.

There are case laws on this subject.

If it changes the issues framed, or requires fresh evidence based on amendment, then the amendment may be difficult.

It depends upon the nature & fact, which to be amended. Stage of the case doesn't matter.
The only question at the time of considering the amendment of the pleadings would be whether such amendment would be necessary for decision of the real controversy between the parties in the suit.

well ur query is very contradictory and unclear so state the facts for proper answer. i am not disputing the legal facts allege by my friends above but i am doubting whether it will apply to ur query or not.

it would be a herculian task my friend. First you have to satisfy the court that the amendment will not alter the issues and there will no necessary to adduce evidence and on later part you have to explain the delay and reasons for not making the amendment at the stage of trail itself. But as our friend Amit said you have to disclose some more facts so as to help you.
