Defendant No.18 who moved an application for transposition as a plaintiff was dismissed by the Court below and the revision is against the order dismissing the petition. 2. It is contended by the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner that the plaintiff had entered into a compromise in fraud and collusion with defendant No.1 and he has sought for withdrawal of the suit which has immediate bearing to his right as an alleged Mahant of the mandir. 3. The Court shall always be liberal in approach for withdrawal of claims made under Order 23 and no defendant can insist on the continuation of the suit. The apprehension of the learned counsel Civil Revision No.3351 of 2007 - 2 - for the petitioner is that the compromise brought about between the plaintiff and the first defendant could be used against them and his valuable right as a Mahant will be in jeopardy. 4. Reserving his right to challenge any form of compromise between the plaintiff and the first defendant in independent proceedings and to canvass the justification or the legal validity of any arrangement between the plaintiff and the first defendant, the revision petition is dismissed. No costs. (K.KANNAN) JUDGE 16.03.2009 sanjeev
