MD.YASIN Vs. ABDUL QAYUM

JUDGEMENT

(1.) THE plaintiffs filed a suit for eviction under Section 11 of the Bihar Buildings {Lease, Rent and Eviction) Control Act against the defendant in the suit. The plaintiffs alleged that they had let the defendant into possession of the building as a tenant. The defendant filed a written statement denying the existence of the relationship of landlord and tenant between the parties. The defendant set up a case that the title to the building vested in his father -in - law.

(2.) AT this stage, the father -in -law of the defendant purported to come forward with an application under Order I Rule 10 of the Code of Civil Procedure seeking his impleading. Apparently, he wanted to claim an indefeasible title over the building. The trial Court taking note of the nature of the suit and the relief prayed for, rejected the application. That order is challenged in this proceeding under Article 227 of the Constitution of India.

(3.) I dismiss the application.
