is not taking proper steps to defend this suit and any adverse order in the matter wold affect the interest of the applicants. On perusal of the written statement affirmed on 31st December, 2008, it indicates that the said written statement is under objection since then. The defendants are not even willing to furnish copy of the written statement filed by the defendant society to its members unless applicants file appropriate application before this court. It is the apprehension of the members of the society that the society through its existing managing committee members may collude with the plaintiff. In the suit, plaintiff has prayed for declaration that there is valid, subsisting and binding agreement between plaintiff and defendant. Defendant has not taken any steps to remove office objection raised in written statement lodged by the Defendant for last several years. Matter has been directed to be placed on board under caption “undefended suit”. In my view, in view of such attitude on the part of the society, which indicates that the members of the society would not be fully protected and are in dark deserves to be impleaded as defendants. Applicants in these circumstances are proper parties to the suit. There would be no prejudice to any parties, if the applicant members are impleaded as parties to the suit as defendants. No affidavit in reply has been filed by the plaintiffs or by the defendants.
