Special Leave Petition (Civil) Nos. 21082-21083/2023

1. These special leave petitions arise out of the orders dated 13.04.2023 and 24.03.2023 passed by the High Court of Gujarat at Ahmedabad in R/Special Civil Application No. 3978 of 2023. By the order dated 24.03.2023, the High Court confirmed the order dated 11.05.2022 passed in Regular Civil Suit No. 300 of 2005 by the learned 9^th Additional Civil Judge, Mirzapur, Ahmedabad (Rural), whereby the third-party application filed by Sakariben Khodaji Shivaji Thakor was allowed and she was joined as a plaintiff in the said suit.

Thereby, they raised objections to the impleadment of Sakariben Khodaji Shivaji Thakor as a plaintiff in aforestated suit.

We find no error having been committed by the High Court in holding to this effect. Once the petitioners wished to exit from the suit, it was of no concern to them as to who still remained or wished to pursue the suit to its lo
