The wife of the tenant, Pritam Singh filed two applications, one for setting aside ex-parte proceedings against her husband Pritam Singh and the other from impleading her as a party-respondent in the petition for eviction.

It was held that she was not authorised by the respondent to file any application on his behalf and she was also not attorney of the respondent. Having found so,
