1.      There cannot be any settlement between the parties as to the manner in which the suit has to be conducted or concluded. For that, the Court is only bound by the Civil Procedure Code and other relevant statutory provisions. That means when a settlement is arrived at, and the Court is satisfied that a decree can be passed, the Court is bound to pass a decree.- Hon’ble Kerala High Court in O.P. (C) No. 3131 of 2016

When any pre-trial amendment is sought for, a party seeking amendment must be given an opportunity to let in evidence to prove that amendment sought for is not barred by limitation and Doctrine of relation back applies to the facts of the case.- Madras High Court in C.R.P. PD Nos. 1599 and 1600 of 2017
