¶31

Application praying that this Hon'ble Court be pleased to permit the Applicants herein to implead Respondents 13 to 18 herein as Respondents 13 to 18 in A.NO.6408 of 2019 in C.S.Diary.No.112222 of 2019.

¶32

Application coming on this day before this court for hearing and the Court made the following order:

¶33

This application is filed to implead respondents 13 to 18 as respondents 13 to 18 in A.No.6408 of 2019 in https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/ C.S.SR.No.112222 of 2019.

¶34

¶35

I heard the learned counsel for the

¶36

applicants/plaintiffs.

¶37

The learned counsel for the applicants submits that respondents 13 to 18 are the current Office Bearers of the first respondent Sabha. Consequently, he submits that they are either necessary or proper parties in the light of the fact that the suit is for framing a scheme for the proper management and administration of the affairs of the Sabha.

¶38

On the contrary, the learned counsel for the respondents/defendants submits that respondents 13 to 18 are neither necessary nor proper parties. In particular, he submits that the Sabha is a party to the proceedings and the Secretary of the Sabha is already one of the Defendants in the suit. More over, he submits that the relief was requested against the defendants 2 to 12 in respect of the alleged mismanagement and not as against the proposed respondents 13 to 18. Therefore, he submits that the proposed respondents 13 to 18 are not necessary or proper

¶39

parties.

¶40

I considered the submissions of the learned counsel

¶41

for the respective parties and also examined the affidavit, counter and relevant records.

¶42

The suit has been filed under Section 92 of the Code of Civil Procedure for framing a scheme for the proper management and administration of the affairs of the Sabha.

¶43

Although it is true that specific allegations are made against defendants 2 to 12 and not against the proposed respondents 13 to 18, in the light of the nature of the suit, namely, to frame a scheme for proper management and administration of the affairs of the Sabha, I am of the view that respondents 13 to 18, who are admittedly the office bearers or committee members of the Sabha, are proper parties, whose presence would be required for the effective adjudication of the issues that arise in the

¶44

https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/ suit. Accordingly, this application is allowed and the applicants are permitted to implead respondents 13 to 18 as

¶45

respondents 13 to 18 in A.No.6408 of 2019.

¶46

7.The learned counsel for the applicants shall carry out the amendment with a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.

¶47
