I have submitted an application of amendment in my succession petition. The opposite councel has submitted a very negative reply. Would the judge allow my application?

In India, the decision on whether to allow or reject an application for amendment in a succession petition is at the discretion of the court. The court will consider various factors including the reasons for the proposed amendment, the stage of the proceedings, the potential prejudice to the other party, and the overall interest of justice.

If the opposing counsel has submitted a negative reply, the court may take that into consideration but it is not determinative. It will ultimately depend on the merits of your application and the reasons provided for seeking the amendment. If the court finds that the amendment is necessary for the proper adjudication of the matter and that it will not cause undue prejudice to the other party, the court may allow the amendment.

It is advisable to present strong arguments and reasons in support of your application for the court to consider. Additionally, you may seek the guidance of your legal counsel to effectively present your case before the court.
