Order 6 Rule 17 provides enough discretion on the part of the judge to accept or reject any amendment depending on the facts in the case. No case law of whatever court is binding on the court as it is the law that provides ample discretion to the court.
If you can convince the court that the other party is engaging in delaying tactics and the amendment petition is not for essentially determining the real question in dispute the court will not and cannot allow the amendment, if the judge has some sense of law particularly when the court is bound under the directions of SC to resort to speedy disposal of old cases.

In a civil suit in progress, it is impossible to offer any meaningful suggestion unless the facts are ascertained and pleadings perused.
