Procedural laws must be followed for party impleadment, but they should not obstruct the administration of substantive justice.
The court emphasized the necessity of allowing parties with substantial interest to join ongoing litigation to ensure effective adjudication and avoid multiplicity of proceedings.

An application for impleadment under Order 1 Rule 10 CPC is barred by limitation if filed beyond three years of the execution of the relevant deed.
