I.A.No.64 of 2015 is filed and is still pending and the presence of the new respondents is unwanted in the petition. The plaintiff has not filed any reply statement to answer the rebuttals made by the defendants. The defendants 1 and 2 colluded with the plaintiff tried to deprive the rights of the third defendant from his possession. The defendants 1, 2 and 4 are not necessary parties to decide the issue in the petition under Order 7 Rule 11 of C.P.C.

7.On the side of the respondents, it is stated that the respondents 1, 2 and 4 are not necessary parties. The Court has to take a decision looking into the pleadings of the plaint and not based on the rebuttals made by the defendants 1, 2 and 4 who were already set exparte. In support of his contention, the Judgment passed by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of Kuldeep Singh Pathania v. Bikram Singh Jaryal reported in 2017 (1) T.N.C.J. 846 (SC), which reads as follows:

“In other words, under Order 7, Rule 11, the Court has to take a decision looking at the pleadings of https://hcservices.ecoturhtse.go v.pin/lhcaseirvnicets/iff only and not on the rebuttal made by the defendant or any other materials produced by the defendant.”
