M. VENKATA RAJU vs TEEGALA ANNAPURNA

The Supreme Court held that the order permitting the Vigneswara Swami Vari Temple to be impleaded as a co-plaintiff in a suit for recovery of arrears of rent was improper under Order 1 Rule 10 of the CPC. The Court set aside the orders of both the Trial Court and the High Court, emphasizing that while the impleading was unsustainable, the Temple could still apply to be added as a party defendant. The appeal was allowed without costs.
