MADHUDEVI Vs. RAJASTHAN STATE ELECTRICITY

JUDGEMENT

(1.) THIS revision petition is directed against the order of Munsiff No. 2, Jodhpur, dated April 24, 1976, whereby he allowed the application filed on behalf of the respondent for impleading Dalip Singh, the husband of the petitioner, to be a party in the suit.

(2.) THE relevant facts giving rise to this revision petition may briefly be stated as follows. The plaintiff -petitioner is the owner of the bungalow described in paragraph No. 1 of the plaint. She claimed ownership of the bungalow on the basis of a registered partitioned dated September 27, 1968. In the year 1975, she applied under Schedule VI of the Indian Electricity Act, 1910 (Act No. 8 of 1910) to the Rajasthan State Electricity Board to provide electricity connection for light and power to her Bungalow. The application for providing light and power connections were accepted by the defendant -non -petitioner. The plaintiff -petitioner thereafter deposited the security amount demanded by the defendant -non -petitioner and she also purchased all electric fittings necessary for getting electricity connection. Even after completion of all necessary requirements for providing electricity connection, no electric connection was provided to the bungalow, the plaintiff filed the suit, out of which this revision petition arises, for issue of a mandatory injunction compelling the defendant to provide electric connection of light and power to the bungalow owned by the plaintiff. Along with the plaint, an application was moved for providing electric connection during the pendency of the suit under Order 39 Rules 1 and 2 CPC and this application was granted and electric connection of light and power were provided to the plaintiff's bungalow.

(3.) THE defendant -non -petitioner also moved an application under Order 1 Rule 10 CPC for impleading Dalipsingh as a co -defendant in the suit This application was opposed by the plaintiff -petitioner. The learned Munsiff, after hearing the parties, allowed the application and directed the plaintiff -petitioner to implead Dalip Singh as co -defendant in the suit. It is against this order that this revision petition has been filed.
