If evidence has not started then you can apply for amendment.
However even after commencement of trial the amendment is allowed if the same is subsequent event.

Courts are more liberal in allowing an amendment of a written statement then that of a plaint.Addition of a new ground of defence or substituting or altering a defence or taking inconsisting plea in the written staatement can also be allowed.please go through the s.c judgment 2010[1] civil court cases 446 {S .C] Sushil Kumar Jain vs Manoj Kumar.Also amendment can be allowed on the ground of "subsequent event" which may came up during pendency of proceedings.
