CORAM:
HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE S.R.KRISHNA KUMAR
ORAL ORDER This petition by plaintiff No.1(b) in O.S.No.1371/2006 on the file of the II Additional Senior Civil Judge & JMFC, Anekal, is
directed against the impugned order dated 03.03.2025 whereby the
- 15 -
HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:5143 WP No. 14989 of 2025
applications – I.A.No.30, 31 and 32 filed by all the plaintiffs were allowed by the Trial Court.
2. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the respondents and perused the material on record.
3.
Learned counsel for the petitioner-plaintiff No.1(b) submits that initially though there was no conflict between the petitioner-plaintiff No.1(b) and the remaining plaintiffs, subsequent to the applications being allowed, there arose a conflict and as a result of which, the impugned order passed by the Trial Court may be set aside and matter be remitted back to the Trial Court for reconsideration afresh, in accordance with law. It is also submitted that apart from the fact that the impugned order is a cryptic, laconic, non speaking order pursuant to the applications, which were not accompanied by the affidavit of the petitioner, the petitioner had not given any instructions either to the remaining co- plaintiffs or to his counsel for the purpose of filing the applications. It is therefore submitted that the impugned order may be set aside and matter remitted back to the Trial Court for reconsideration of I.A.Nos.30, 31 and 32 afresh in accordance with law by giving sufficient and reasonable opportunity to all the parties.

HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:5143 WP No. 14989 of 2025
4. While learned counsel for the remaining respondents submits that they have no objection for the matter being remitted back to the Trial Court for reconsideration afresh in accordance with law, learned counsel for respondent No.74 submits that petitioner – plaintiff No.1(b) having authorized his lawyer to appear on his behalf also, the petitioner - plaintiff No.1(b) now cannot cite reasons of conflict for the purpose of seeking setting aside of the impugned order by way of the present petition, which is liable to be dismissed.
5. Though several contentions have been urged by both sides in support of their respective claims, in the light of the specific assertion made by the learned counsel for the petitioner-plaintiff No.1(b) that he did not give instructions or authorise his counsel or the other plaintiffs to file I.A.Nos.30, 31 or 32 and in order to provide one more opportunity to all parties including respondent No.74 to put forth all their contentions before the Trial Court, without expressing any opinion on the merits/demerits of the rival
contentions, I deem it just and appropriate to set aside the impugned order and remit the matter back to the Trial Court for reconsideration afresh in accordance with law.
- 17 -
HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:5143 WP No. 14989 of 2025
6. In the result, I pass the following:
ORDER (i) The petition is hereby allowed. (ii) The impugned order dated 03.03.2025 passed in O.S.No.1371/2006 by the II Additional Senior Civil Judge & JMFC, Anekal, on applications – I.A.No.30, 31 and 32 is hereby set aside. (iii) Matter is remitted back to the Trial Court for reconsideration of I.A.Nos.30, 31 and 32, afresh, in accordance with law. (iv) The Trial Court shall hear all parties i.e., all the plaintiffs and all defendants on I.A.Nos.30, 31 and 32 and pass appropriate orders afresh in accordance with law. (v) All rival contentions on all aspects of the matter are kept/left open and no opinion is expressed on merits/demerits of the rival contentions.
