1) under order VI Rule 17 amendment of plaint can be done by the plaintiff as trial has not commenced so far

2) no application for the amendment shall be allowed by the court after the commencement of the trial, unless the court is of the opinion that notwithstanding the parties’ due diligence, they could not have raised the matter before the commencement of the trial.
