learned court by order dated 30.11.2018. He submits that thereafter the petitioners herein have been made plaintiff nos. 8 and 9 in the suit. He submits that thereafter the petitioners filed amendment petition in the plaint which was rejected by the impugned order by the learned court. He further submits that only the case of the plaintiff nos. 8 and 9 has been tried to be brought on record and that has been rejected by learned court which is against the mandate of law. On these grounds, he submits that impugned order may kindly be set aside.
4.
Learned counsel for the O.P. No.1 opposes the prayer and submits that other plaintiffs have not given any consent and the pleadings of the plaintiffs have been sought to be amended by said amendment petition in view of that the learned court has rightly rejected the said petition.
5.
It is an admitted position that under Order I Rule 10 C.P.C. the petitioners herein were made plaintiff nos. 8 and 9 in the suit and thereafter petition was filed for amendment in the plaint that too in the pleadings of the plaintiff nos. 1 to 7. The other plaintiffs have not signed the said documents and only plaintiff no. 9 signed the said petition and considering all these aspects the learned court has rejected the said amendment petition. In the aforesaid ground, the court finds that if in absence of consent of other plaintiffs the pleadings of plaintiff nos. 1 to 7 has been sought to be amended that is not in accordance with law and in view of that the learned court has rightly passed the impugned order.
6. There is no illegality in the impugned order. Accordingly, this petition is dismissed. Pending I.A, if any, stands dismissed.
