Kanaklata Das And Ors. vs Naba Kumar Das And Ors

The Supreme Court held that in an eviction suit under the West Bengal Tenancy Act, only the landlord and tenant are necessary parties, as established under Order 1 Rule 10(2) of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908. The Court reversed the High Court's decision allowing respondent No. 1 to be impleaded as a co-plaintiff, restoring the Trial Court's order which dismissed the application. The ruling emphasizes that additional parties, such as family members claiming interest, do not have a right to join the suit as co-plaintiffs.
