IN THE HIGH COURT OF HIMACHAL PRADESH, SHIMLA CMPMO No.320 of 2006 Date of decision : July 27, 2010 K.S. Sisodia …Petitioner. Versus Haminder Lal and another …Respondents. Coram The Hon’ble Mr. Justice Surjit Singh, Judge. Whether approved for reporting?1 For the Petitioner : Mr. Ramakant Sharma, Advocate. For the Respondents : Mr. Atul Jhingan, Advocate, for respondent No.1. Mr. Ramesh Thakur, Assistant Advocate General, for respondent No.2. Surjit Singh, J (Oral) Petitioner, who is not impleaded as a party to a suit filed by respondent No.1, made an application to the trial Court, under Order 1 Rule 10 of the Code of Civil Procedure, for being impleaded as party, as according to him, the relief claimed by the plaintiff-respondent was going to affect him, inasmuch as the plaintiff-respondent has sought correction of entries in the revenue papers, which had been carried out, pursuant to an order dated 20th May, 2005, passed by the Settlement Authorities, on an application of the petitioner. His application has been dismissed. Petitioner is aggrieved by the order of dismissal, which is dated 19th October, 2006. Whether reporters of the local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? …2… 2. I have heard the learned counsel for the parties. 3. Since the petitioner is not a party and while opposing the application, under Order 1 Rule 10 of the Code of Civil Procedure, the plaintiff took a specific stand that no relief has been claimed against the present petitioner, his non-impleadment will not cause any prejudice to him. Even if the suit is decreed, the decree will be binding only on the persons who have already been impleaded as defendants. It will not bind the present petitioner, on account of his being not a party, especially when despite his own application he has not been impleaded, on account of opposition of his application by the plaintiff-respondent. Petition is, therefore, dismissed. In view of the dismissal of the main petition, pending application(s), if any, also stand dismissed. Record be returned immediately.
