Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision affirming the impleadment of Kedia Construction Company Limited as Plaintiff No.3 in Suit No.894 of 1986, citing Order XXII Rule 10 CPC. The Court established that the assignment of contractual rights is permissible without the need for the original party's consent, as long as there is prima facie evidence of the assignment. The appeal was dismissed, reinforcing that the appellant could contest the assignment's validity during the final decree stage.
