Plaintiff v/s. Kartik Venilal Kanakia & Anr. .. Defendants ......... Dr. Birendra Saraf a/w. Mr. N. Agarwal and Ashish Rao i/b M & M Legal Ventures for the plaintiff Defendant no1. In person ......... CORAM : R.Y.GANOO, J. DATE : 20th JANUARY, 2011 P.C. : 1. In the present suit defendant no.1 wants legal aid. In order to get legal aid, the Legal Services Authority had asked defendant no.1 to produce the income certificate. Defendant no.1 has applied to the Tahasildar, Andheri more particularly described and referred to as respondent in this chamber summons by application dated 5th April, 2010. Copy of the said application is enclosed to this chamber summons. Defendant no.1 before this Court makes a grievance that respondent is not passing final orders on this application and consequently defendant no.1 does not know whether respondent would : 2 : chs-1695-10=.sxw like to issue certificate or not. 2. On this fact, defendant no.1 has taken out this chamber summons for joining respondent-Tahasildar as a party to the suit. 3. After hearing learned Counsel for the plaintiff as well as defendant no.1, I hold that Tahasildar, Andheri is not required to be added as a party. Looking to the grievance placed by defendant no.1 before the Court, respondent Tahasildar is not required to be joined as party defendant in the suit. In my view, order can be passed directing the respondent to dispose of the application filed by defendant no.1 within a period of 3 weeks from service of copy of this order duly authenticated by the Associate of the Court upon the respondent i.e. Tahasildar, Andheri, Village Vile Parle, Tal. Andheri, Mumbai Suburban District, Near Bhavans College, Andheir (W), Mumbai – 400 058. In view of the above, chamber summons stands disposed of in terms of the above order. (R.Y.GANOO, J.)
