Permissibility of amendment in prayer clause

Ashesh Singh (Querist) 20 September 2022 This query is : Resolved
I have filed a Civil Misc. Appeal before the High Court against the order passed by the District Judge. I need to add relief in the prayer clause of the stay application. The reason is only that the prayer clause as it stands is not properly worded and one relief has been left out inadvertently which in ordinary course seems very reasonable and it in no manner changes the nature of the appeal/stay application. I believe that such amendment is permissible under provisions of CPC. I would be highly obliged if experts on civil side may be gracious enough to provide proper guidance and suggestions. Regards

In my view, you may add a relief prayer with the permission of the court.

Thanks for your response. I am preparing to file the application with title "Application for amendment in prayer in Stay application under O. 6 R. 17 read with Section 151 CPC". Experienced one's confirmation about its correctness would be very helpful or if any other better suited title is required then kindly suggest the same. Regards

I agree with the opinion and advise of experts, you can amend the prayer clause of appeal u/o VI Rule 17 CPC.
