HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:37103 WP No. 14553 of 2025
case, by allowing the above petition, in the interest of justice and equity."
2. Heard Shri Shivakumar V.,
learned counsel appearing for the petitioner; Shri Anil Kumar R. learned counsel appearing for respondent No.1 and Shri S.G. Hegde, learned counsel appearing for respondent No.2.
3. The petitioner is defendant No.3. A suit comes to be instituted by the plaintiff in O.S.No.106/2007. It transpires that the respondents herein purchases the property during the subsistence of the suit and is wanting to implead themselves into the proceedings. The concerned court allows the application. The moment the application is allowed, the respondents files an application under Order VII Rule 11 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 ('the CPC' for short) seeking rejection of the plaint. The evidence began to be let in on the rejection of the plaint and at that time, the petitioner approaches this court in the subject petition calling in question the order which permits the respondents to come on record i.e, under Order I Rule 10(2) of the CPC.

4. The learned counsel appearing for the respondents submits that they are a proper and necessary parties.
5. The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner would however dispute the position contending that the respondents are neither proper nor necessary parties.
6. The concerned court allows the application by the following order:
"19. Hence, from relying upon the principles of the above Judgments of the Hon'ble Supreme Court and High Court of Karnataka, it is clear that seeking impleadment in a pending proceeding before a Court cannot be claimed as a matter of right, however, that general rule is subject to the provisions of Order I rule 10 of the Code. The plaintiffs have filed suit for partition. The proposed defendant has furnished conveyance deed and sale deed standing over item No.2 property i.e., Sy.No.70/1 dated 18-09-2024 and 25-09-
2024.20. Certainly, there is documents standing an suit item No.2. The presence of the proposed defendants No.15 and 16 will not cause any hardship to the plaintiff or other defendants. If the applicants are brought on record it helps the court to reach a fair conclusion and their presence is necessary, hence, they need to be arrayed as parties to avoid multiplicity. Moreover, mere adding will not dilute their duty in establishing their contention. Hence, with these observations I proceed to pass the following.
ORDER IA No.25 filed under order 1 Rule 10(2) of CPC is allowed.
For amendment and amended plaint by 15-04- 2025."
