Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the application under Order XXIII Rule 1(3) CPC, allowing the plaintiffs to withdraw their suit with permission to file a fresh suit. The Court held that the plaintiffs' failure to include a prayer for declaration of title over the pathway necessitated the withdrawal, as the lower appellate court's finding that the pathway was common undermined their claim of exclusive user. The Court emphasized the importance of properly constituting the suit to seek appropriate relief regarding property rights.
