Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the High Court's interference under Article 227 of the Constitution of India in the trial court's order allowing the appellant's impleadment under Order 1 Rule 10 of the CPC was unwarranted. The Court emphasized that the appellant, having purchased the suit property from the same vendor and being a prior agreement holder, is indeed a necessary party to the suit. Consequently, the Supreme Court set aside the High Court's order and reinstated the trial court's decision to allow the appellant's application for impleadment.
