According to the applicants, the applicants are the plaintiffs in the main suit and the suit was filed for recovery of money based on cheques. In the plaint the plaintiff mentioned the dates and number of the cheques and the amount of cheques.

The second respondent filed a counter, denying the avermnts.

This Court also perused the particulars of amendment, the applicant/plaintiff also alrady produced cheques before this Court along with the plaint. On a perusal of cheques, it is seen that the particulars of some cheques have been wrongly typed and those corrections are only typhographical error. Though the respondent strongly objected to allow this application, the proposed amendment is only in respect of the particulars of cheques which were already filing along with plaint and the proposal amendment no way alters the nature and character of the suit. Therefore, this Court is inclined to allow this application. 6. The grounds raised by the respondent are all defence to be adjudicated in the suit. In view of the same, this application is allowed. https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis A No. 3965 of 2025 __________ Page4 of 5 7.Necessary amendment in the cause title shall be made. 8.
