Dear Experts,
B has put a counterclaim suit on A's previously instituted suit. Now B has realised that there has been some mistakes on which both his written statements to A's suit as well as his counterclaim suit are based. Consequently B has decided to file an amendment petition for both his written statements and his counterclaim plaint. Additionally in A's suit there are other defendants involved as well besides B.
Now my questions are:
1. Can an amendment petition under Order 6 rule 17 for correcting both the written statement and the counterclaim plaint be submitted together instead of separately?
2. If this amendment petition fails, then can B still WITHDRAW his counterclaim petition under order 23 Rule 1?
3. Can the other defendants of A's suit also object to B's amendment?
Thank you for your time and effort.
