According to Order VI, Rule 17 of the Code of Civil Procedure, if a party obtains an order for leave to amend a pleading but fails to amend within the time specified in the order, or if no specific time is provided, within fourteen days from the date of the order, they will not be allowed to amend after this prescribed time unless the court extends the time. This rule is intended to prevent unnecessary delays and ensure speedy disposal of cases.
