2. on the file of the Court of II Additional Junior Civil Judge-cum-Special Mobile Court, Vijayanagaram for recovery of amount against the estate of the deceased Yelakala Venkata Ramana in the hands of the petitioners herein being the defendants in the said suit. The petitioners/defendant s contested the said suit by way of filing written statement contending that the deceased Venkata Ramana is having old aged parents and they are also Class-1 legal representatives of the deceased Venkata Ramana and without adding them as parties to the suit, the present suit is not at all maintainable and the suit has to be dismissed for mis-joinder of necessary and proper parties. Pursuant to the cross examination of P.Ws.1 to 3, the respondent/plaintiff filed I.A.No.127 of 2024 permitting him to add the parents of the deceased Venkata Ramana as defendant Nos.4 and 5 in the said suit.

4.
Learned counsel for the petitioners, in elaboration to what has been stated in the grounds of revision, contended that the respondent/plaintiff filed the application after framing the issues and after cross-examination of P.Ws.1 to 3 at the fag end of the trial with a view to drag on the suit proceedings. He
3 further submitted that though a specific stand has been taken in the written statement that the suit is not maintainable without adding the mother father of the borrower, instead of filing the application to implead them parties at that stage, the application is filed after completion of cross examination of P.Ws.1 to 3. He further submitted that the impugned order not supported by any reasons and the Court below without even looking into and as IS the defence taken in the counter has allowed the Interlocutory application erroneously. If the impugned
order subsists, it affects the rights of the petitioners/defendants, as such, prayed to allow the Civil Revision Petition, dismissing the I.A.No.127 of 2024 in O.S.No.422 of 2020 on the file of the Court of II Additional Junior Civil Judge-cum-Special Mobile Court at Vizianagaram.

4 examination of P.Ws.1 to 3 and the application at the belated stage after cross has been allowed by the Court below.
