Yes, you can file an application seeking permission of the Court to amend your pleading. The amendment should be one as to be necessary to decide the actual controvery between the parties. Courts usually allow amendments at any stage unless in some specific cases, e.g. the amendment is to cause undue delay without any justification or when it changes the nature of the case itself or when it tries to brings about a time barred cause of action.

Yes, Order 6 Rule 17 allows you to amendment. this can be done at any stage before passing of judgement. But the amendment should not raise an inconsistent case when compared with the original case. also, the amendment shall not be filed to prejudice the rights of others er party.
