Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision allowing Jayeshkumar Chhakaddas Shah to be added as plaintiff no. 2 in a civil suit concerning land ownership. The Court emphasized that the rights of JCS would be significantly impacted by the withdrawal of the original plaintiffs, thus justifying his inclusion under Order I Rule 10 of the CPC. The ruling clarified that the trial court's dismissal of JCS's application was erroneous, as it failed to recognize the potential conflict of interest and the necessity of JCS's participation in the proceedings.
