Judgement Key Points

Key Points: - The proposed party ( Abdul Khadar ) sought impleadment as 7th defendant under Order 1 Rule 10 CPC; the court dismissed the impleading petition. (!) (!) - Under Muslim Law, right by birth is not recognized; an heir-apparent/presumptive arises only on death of the ancestor. A predeceased son/daughter is excluded; the theory of representation is not recognised. (!) (!) (!) - The suit properties originally belonged to Ameena Beevi; her heirs (plaintiffs 1 and 2 and others) were determined; the proposed party, being child of a predeceased son, cannot claim a share. (!) (!) - Final decree/rights determined in preliminary decree and subsequent modifications; impleading a new party in final decree proceedings is not warranted where rights have been already adjudicated. (!) (!) (!) - The Civil Revision Petition is dismissed with no costs. (!)
