Bhupendrasinh Vechatbhai Khant v. Vikramsinh Ramsinh Dindor
Case brief
What is this about?
The Division Bench dismissed an appeal filed by an elected MLA challenging the Single Judge's order allowing a defeated rival candidate to be joined as a party respondent. The Court held that the rival was a 'proper party' and an aggrieved person due to his legal injury from the cancellation of the petitioner's caste certificate and reservation benefits, thus the Single Judge did not err.
What did the court decide?
The appeal was dismissed; consequently, the lower court's Civil Application was held to survive and was dismissed.
