Analysis and Conclusion
Non-joinder of necessary parties in contempt proceedings or related litigation is a critical procedural flaw that can lead to dismissal or challenge of orders. Courts underscore that such non-joinder affects the jurisdiction and fairness of proceedings, with the general rule favoring the inclusion of all necessary parties to uphold the integrity of judicial processes. Nonetheless, the impact of non-joinder may vary based on whether prejudice is demonstrated, but the default position remains that necessary parties must be impleaded for proceedings to be valid Chinchwad Devasthan Trust VS Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation Through Commissioner PCMC Office - Bombay, S.
