I can understand your problem you seem to amend your plaint only to seek compensation as addition relief from the court. please be informed the procedure for amending is laid under order. 6 rule 17 of cpc and the courts usually allow amendment in plaint at any stage however same should not change the nature of the suit, it appears the stage of your case is at last and would be not appropriate to move such application as conduct on your part would speak that you have slept over your right , and importantly in case you filed amending application and fortunately if it is allowed , you must keep in mind the same court be having pecuniary jurisdiction to pass such compensation to that extent as well it so it would be proper to file seperate suit for damages and compensation before the appropriate court forum . Note: It is recommended to ask your advocate to argue the grounds in addition to seek moulding of reliefs from the same court and seeks compensation upto his pecuniary jurisdiction though chances are bleak.
