..Respondents / Respondents / Defendants 3 tol 1 & 13 to 18 Counsel for the petitioners: I.Suragani Krishna Vamsi Counsel for the respondents: Nil The Court made the following Order: This petition is filed under Article 227 of the Constitution of India against the order dated 21.04.2025 allowing I.A.No.280 of 2024 in O.S.No.21 of 2012 on the file of the Court of Ill-Additional District Judge, Kurnool at Nandyal filed by the plaintiff under Order XXII, rule 4 and Order VI, rule 17 and Section151 of C.P.C to add the wife / respondent No.19, sons / R20 and 21 of the deceased 1®* defendant / 1®‘ respondent as defendants No.19 to 21 in the suit and making necessary amendments in the plaint. 2. The suit was filed to declare that the will dated 16.12.2011 making disposition of the land by G.Devalathamma if not true, valid

3. Pending the suit, the defendant No.1 leaving behind his wife / died on 10.01.2021 respondent No.19, sons / respondents No.20 and 21 and a daughter respondent No.12 / defendant No.12 who is already on record. 4. The counter filed by some of the respondents bares the counter was filed by respondents a title that No.1, 2 and
4. Infact respondent No.1 died. Moreover, in the counter it was pleaded that the deceased defendant No.1 executed a registered gift deed dated schedule to his 23.12.2020 gifting items Nos.1 and 2 of the plaint ‘A daughter / defendant No.12 and he got the said properties through a registered Will dated 16.12.2011 which is under challenge in the suit. Therefore, these contesting respondents opposed impleading of as they do not have any interest in the respondent No.19 to 21 property. 5.
However, the trial Court allowed the petition for impleading the proposed parties and making the consequential amendments plaint, on the ground that unless and until the to the proposed parties are brought on record as parties to the suit, it is not possible for the Court to adjudicate the lis between the parties. 6. The
order shows that no prior notice was given to the proposed parties either to accept the case of the petitioner or the
5 BSB,J C.R.P.No.1518 of 2025 case pleaded in the counter. If at all the alleged gift by the respondent No.1 in favour of respondent No.12 is accepted by the respondents No.19 to 21, they need not be brought on record as they apparently have no interest in the property. However, without prior service of notice to them, the case of neither party can be accepted. The order of the trial Court further shows that it ignored the gift deed pleaded in the counter and mis-lead by the will which is the subject matter of the suit. For the purpose of impleading the proposed parties, it is necessary to examine the contention regarding the registered gift deed to examine whether it is necessary to implead the proposed parties or not. It is important to note that as they were not served with prior notice. Aggrieved by the order allowing them to be impleaded, they preferred the revision along with the other contesting respondents. Thus, it appears that they sail with the contesting respondents and thereby accepting the plea of registered gift deed being executed by the defendant No.1 in favour of the defendant No.12. in these circumstances, without examining the crucial aspects, allowing the petition in a mechanical manner is the irregularity committed by the trial Court. Since, the trial Court failed to prior notice to the respondents No.19 to 21, they had no chance to either oppose or support the relief claimed in the petition. Under all these circumstances, it is necessary to interfere with the impugned order. serve In the result, civil revision petition is allowed setting aside the
order dated 21.04.2025 in I.A.No.280 of 2024 in O.S.No.21 of 2012 the file of the Court of Ill-Additional District Judge, Kurnool at Nandyal. The trial Court is directed to permit the respondents No.19
