The amended petition filed by the Respondent amounted to a fresh petition under the guise of an amendment, as it involved a complete redraft of the original petition with additional grounds and reliefs. The amendments were substantial, including the addition of new reliefs, impleading a new party, and introducing additional acts of oppression. As per the Aurosagar Estates case, such substantial amendments require a formal application, granting the opposing party an opportunity to rebut the proposed changes. However, the impugned order did not adhere to the principles of natural justice by allowing the amended petition without providing the Appellant an opportunity to be heard. Consequently, the appeal was disposed of.
