The application to amend was dismissed because the proposed amendment sought to change a material fact central to the plaintiff's claim (the identity of the liable party), thereby altering the essence of the case and introducing a new issue late in the proceedings; the defendant had misused Order 20 instead of appropriate misjoinder or substitution procedures, offered no exceptional justification for delay, and the amendment would prejudice the plaintiff and disrupt an already fixed trial date.
