CORAM : SANJAY A. DESHMUKH, J.

DATE : 03/09/2024.

JUDGMENT :

1. Heard. Admit. Heard the matter finally with the consent of the learned Advocates appearing for the parties.

2. This appeal is preferred against the judgment and decree passed by the learned District Judge, Nagpur in Regular Civil Appeal No.516/2015, dated 18.07.2018, which was preferred against the judgment and decree of the learned Civil Judge, Senior Division, Nagpur passed in Special Civil Suit No.479/2009, dated 08.10.2015. It was suit for declaration and perpetual injunction that sale deed as well as power of attorney is not binding upon plaintiffs. The suit was decreed. The appeal was allowed and the judgment and decree of the trial court was set aside.

3. This court, on 10.09.2018, framed the following substantial question of law :

“In the light of the decree passed by the trial Court which is joint and inseparable, whether failure to implead the original plaintiff No.6 as a respondent in the appeal is fatal to the case of defendant Nos.1 to 5.?

4. Learned Advocate for the appellants Shri N.B. Kalwaghe submitted that the basic and mandatory requirement of law is that all the parties in the trial court, who opposed to the suit, must be made parties in the appeal against the said judgment. Admittedly, defendant no.6 was not made party in first appeal. He is relying upon the authority of this court in the case of Sheikh Yusuf s/o Haji Sheikh Usman and others .vs. Haji Mohammad Jamil Ahemad and others, reported in 2015 (2) Mh.L.J. 209, in which, it is held that the decree against the persons, who are not added and judgment had attained the finality and it is inseparable one. The High Court was not right in reversing the order of the executing court as against the said judgment. The said law is also settled in the case of Rajeswari Amma and another .vs. Joseph and another, reported in (1995) 2 SCC 159.

5. Learned Advocate for the appellants lastly submitted that the judgment of the trial court has attained finality and now the prayer is made in these two applications i.e. Civil Application (CAS) No.998/2019 for condonation of delay and Civil Application (CAS)
