Srinivasan, J.

1. The revision petition arises out of an application filed by the first respondent herein for impleading respondents 2 to 4 as petitioners in R.C.O.P. No. 134 of 1982 which is an application for eviction filed by the first respondent on the ground of requirement for demolition and reconstruction. It is stated in the affidavit filed in support of the application by the first respondent that since the R.C.O.P. had been pending for more than three years, he had sold the property to third parties and that they were entitled to continue the petition for eviction. This application was opposed by the petitioner herein and the Rent Controller overruled the objections raised by the petitioner and ordered the application. That order was affirmed on appeal by the appellate authority in C.M.A. No. 46 of 1987.

2. In this revision petition, learned Counsel for the petitioner contends vehemently that it is not open to the original land lord to implead the purchasers as parties to the petition as under Section 14(1)(b) of the Tamil Nadu Buildings (Lease and Rent Control) Act, the bonafide of the purchasers has to be established if the purchasers want to get an order of eviction.
