The petition to quash the impugned order was dismissed. The application for impleading Anil Kumar Jeloka was dismissed.

impleading Anil Kumar Jiloka as plaintiff No. 2 has been dismissed on the ground that in an eviction suit the relationship of landlord and tenant was required to be established and question of title was only incidental in nature.

¶9

I find that the said order of learned Munsif-II, Bhagalpur, is based on sound reasoning and does not require any interference by this Court. The petition for impleading Anil Kumar Jeloka as plaintiff No. 2, in facts and circumstance of the case, itself was misconceived. This application is, accordingly, dismissed.
