Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision affirming the Civil Judge's rejection of the appellant's application for substitution as a legal representative in a suit for eviction, citing Article 227 of the Constitution. The Court found that the execution of the Will, which the appellant relied upon, appeared suspicious, and thus the appellant was not entitled to be impleaded in the eviction proceedings. The ruling clarified the scope of inquiry under Article 227, emphasizing that the findings were limited to the appellant's entitlement to participate as a legal representative.
