The court exercised its discretion under Order 20 rule 5 to refuse the defendant's application because the proposed amendment would affect the character of the defence, the defendant filed the application late without a convincing explanation, and the delay and circumstances showed lack of bona fide and would prejudice the plaintiff; these factors together warranted dismissal of the amendment application.
