Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the High Court erred in reversing the trial Court's order allowing the appellant to be added as a party in a suit for specific performance. The Court emphasized that under Article 227 of the Constitution, a party with a vested interest, such as the appellant who is a beneficiary of the Trust, should be allowed to participate in proceedings affecting their rights. The Court reinstated the trial Court's decision, affirming that the appellant's presence was necessary to ensure a fair adjudication of the dispute regarding the Trust property.
