Sunil Gupta vs Kiran Girhotra & Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of whether a purchaser of property from a deceased testator should be impleaded in probate proceedings under the Indian Succession Act, 1925. The Court held that the High Court erred in reversing the order allowing the impleadment, emphasizing the need to avoid multiplicity of proceedings and recognizing the court's broad discretion to include parties in such matters. The appeal was allowed, reinstating the order for impleadment, thereby affirming the importance of including all relevant parties in probate cases.
