SB- Hon'ble Shri Justice Amitendra Kishore Prasad

Order On Board

24.04.2026

1. As the impugned order in the present petition is identical and

arises out of the same proceedings, the present petitions are

being decided by this common order.

3

2. By way of these petitions, the petitioner has called in question the

legality, validity and propriety of the order dated 09.10.2024

passed by Respondent No.1, whereby the application preferred

by the petitioners under Order 1 Rule 10 of the CPC, 1908 for

impleadment has been rejected.

3. Briefly stated, the case of the petitioners is that Respondent No.3

was originally granted patta of land bearing Khasra No. 78/4, area

4.047 hectares, situated at Ramanujganj. Thereafter, in

compliance with the order dated 15.06.2012 passed by the

Additional Commissioner, portions of the said land were sold to

various purchasers including the present petitioner through a

registered sale deed dated 25.06.2012. Subsequently,

Respondent No.2 challenged the revenue proceedings and

carried the matter in appeal and thereafter in revision before the

competent authorities. The revision proceedings ultimately came

to be filed before Respondent No.1. According to the petitioners,

he being a purchaser of the disputed land is a necessary and

proper party to the said proceedings. However, he was not

impleaded at earlier stages and came to know about the pending

revision only subsequently, whereupon he filed an application

under Order 1 Rule 10 CPC seeking impleadment. The said

application has been rejected by the impugned order dated

09.10.2024, hence these petitions.

4. Following reliefs have been prayed by way of this petition:-

pleased to call for the entire records pertaining

to the case of the present Petitioner from the

Respondent authorities concerned for kind

perusal.
