My Dear Friend
you need not amend a Counter Affidavit.
You may file an Additional Counter Affidavit by failing a Petition to receive an Additional Counter Affidavit by serving a notice to other side. the Court may allow your petition, if you show sufficient reasons for non menctioning the facts earlier Counter Affidavit. Thus you have to satisfy the court with sufficient reasons

Mr. Vinjamuri Venkata Rao is absolutely right.
There is no provision to amend affidavit, if there is some wrong in affidavit you may file supplementary counter affidavit after permission of the court.
