(2.) THE landlord filed an ejectment application on November 3, 1982, against Sohan Lal and others. Petitioner Krishan Chand was one of the respondents. He was shown as respondent No. 4. On July 30, 1983, respondents 2 to 5 were proceeded against ex-parte as they had refused to accept the service. They were also served by affixation.

The ejectment application was thus being contested on behalf of Sohan Lal respondent. Now Krishan Chand filed the present application under Order 1, Rule 10, C.P.C. for impleading him as a party to the ejectment application. This was contested on behalf of the landlord and the Rent Controller dismissed the same with the following observations :

(3.) SINCE further proceedings were stayed by this Court at the time of motion hearing, the parties are directed to appear before the Rent Controller on August 18, 1989.
