or empowered to call for elections to the Plaintiff Society which is an
independent Society registered under the provisions of the Tamil Nadu
Societies Registration Act, 1975, (b) permanent injunction restraining the
defendant from conducting any election of the Plaintiff Society in pursuance
of their election notification dated 04.06.2021 issued by the Defendant as
the same is non-est, illegal and not binding on the plaintiff and (c) for a

3. During the pendency of the suit, all other district associations
have jointly filed this application to implead themselves as defendants 2 to
18 in the suit.
4. Learned counsel for the applicants/proposed defendants 2 to 18
would submit that the applicants/proposed defendants 2 to 18 are the
District Associations and the Plaintiff Association is only meant for all the
District Associations. Therefore, they are the necessary party to the suit.
5. Learned counsel for the first respondent/Plaintiff would submit
that the applicants/proposed defendants 2 to 18 are neither necessary nor
proper party as they have also made their allegations against the Plaintiff
Association before the Registrar of Societies. Therefore, their presence is
not necessary in the suit and without their presence, the court can adjudicate
the suit effectively.
6. Learned counsel for the second respondent/sole defendant has
no serious objection for impleading the applicants/defendants 2 to 18 in the
suit.

7. Heard the learned counsel appearing on either side and perused
the materials available on record.
8. Admittedly, the first respondent/Plaintiff is the State Association
and the applicants/proposed defendants 2 to 18 are the District Associations.
The rights and interest of the applicants/proposed defendants 2 to 18 have
also been involved in this suit as they are the members of the first
respondent/plaintiff Association. Therefore, they are the necessary party to
the suit filed by the plaintiff and there is absolute necessary for the presence
of the applicants/proposed defendants 2 to 18 to decide the suit as no
effective decision has been arrived by this Court, without their presence.
Therefore, the presence of the applicants/proposed defendants 2 to 18 is
necessary for arriving at a just conclusion. This Court feels that this
application has to be allowed. According A.No.3645 of 2021 is allowed and
the learned counsel for the plaintiff is directed to carry out the amendment
and file the amended copy of the plaint before 13.04.2022.
9. Post the matter on 13.04.2022.
