1. This is an application to revise an order made by the learned District Munsif of Tenali by which he -allowed a petition presented on behalf of the second respondent here that she may also be impleaded as a party to a suit O.S. No. 66 of 1935. The application was presented under Order 1, Rule 10 of the Code of Civil Procedure. The relevant portion of the rule is worded as follows:

The Court may at any stage of the proceedings, either upon or without the application of either party, and on such terms as may appear to the Court to be just, order... that the name of any person who ought to have been joined, whether as plaintiff or defendant, or whose presence before the Court may be necessary in order to enable the Court effectually, and completely to adjudicate upon and settle all the questions involved in the suit, be added.

2. It is obvious from this provision that the Court in making an order directing a new party to be added must be satisfied either that that party ought to have been joined as plaintiff or defendant or that the presence of that party is necessary to enable the Court effectually and completely to adjudicate upon and settle all the questions
