Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Bombay High Court's decision to strike off the additional written statement filed by the appellants after their impleadment as legal representatives of the deceased defendant Abdul Razak. The Court emphasized that the trial court's decision to allow the impleadment of the widow and children of the deceased was justified under the principles of natural justice and did not prejudice the rights of the daughters. The ruling reinforces the importance of ensuring all legal heirs are represented in tenancy disputes under relevant tenancy laws.
