The Allahabad High Court has held that trial courts do have the authority to amend a preliminary decree under Section 97 of the Civil Procedure Code, whenever necessary to ensure fair outcomes between disputing parties. The bench, led by Justice Rohit Ranjan Agarwal, emphasized that neither the provision of Section 97 nor Supreme Court precedents (like Baliram Atmaram Kelapure v. Indirabai and S. Satnam Singh vs. Surender Kaur) restrict this power, reinforcing that amendments are permissible if they help do justice.
