Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of whether a neighbor, who does not claim any title over the property, can be impleaded in a suit concerning construction that allegedly infringes upon their right to light and air. The Court held that under Order 1 Rule 10 of the Code of Civil Procedure, a party can be considered a proper party if they have a grievance related to the subject matter of the suit, even if they do not have a direct interest in the property. The Court affirmed the trial court's decision to allow the neighbor's application for impleadment, emphasizing the importance of addressing grievances related to rights affected by construction activities.
