Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court allowed the appeal in the case concerning a suit for specific performance of an agreement of sale dated 10.4.1977, ruling that Respondent No.10 was not a necessary party for determining the genuineness of the agreement between the petitioner and Respondent No.1. The Court set aside the trial court's order allowing Respondent No.10's impleadment and directed the trial court to expedite the disposal of the suit, which was filed in 1979. The decision emphasizes the necessity of parties in civil suits under the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908.
