the proceedings, in the interest to justice and equity."
2. Heard Sri. Pradeep Patil, learned counsel appearing for the petitioners, Sri. Shivaswamy, learned counsel appearing for respondent Nos.2 to 4 and have perused the material on record.
3. The petitioners are impleading applicant Nos.1 to 4 seeking to implead them in FDP No.7/2020.
4.
Learned counsel appearing for the petitioners submits that the petitioners were not impleaded in the Original Suit, which ought to have been done and therefore, the applicants prefer an application seeking their impleadment into the final decree proceedings, which comes to be rejected on the score that they were not parties in the Original Suit.
5.
Learned counsel appearing for respondent Nos.2 to 4 i.e., the contesting respondents would not dispute the position that the petitioners are proper and necessary parties to the lis and therefore, would agree with the contention of the
learned counsel appearing for the petitioners.

6. In that light, I deem it appropriate to obliterate the
order and allow the application so filed by the petitioners before the concerned Court, seeking their impleadment into the FDP proceedings.
7. For the aforesaid reasons, the following:
ORDER (i) The petition is allowed. (ii) The impugned order dated 07.01.2025 passed by the Additional Senior Civil Judge and JMFC, Hunsur, Mysore in FDP No.07/2020, stands quashed. (iii) The application filed by the petitioners before the concerned Court, stands allowed.
