Present petition is filed challenging the order dated 17.11.2009 passed by the Additional Civil Judge, Senior Division, Mansa, whereby the Civil Judge rejected the application of the plaintiff - petitioner, seeking permission to implead subsequent purchaser subsequent to the agreement to sell in question and for consequential relief in the plaint. Learned counsel for the respondents – defendants appearing before this Court fairly stated that all the subsequent purchasers subsequent CR No. 1406 of 2010 2 to the agreement to sell in question, are necessary parties in a suit for specific performance. However, he stated that as per Sub-rule 5 of Order 1 Rule 10 CPC, newly added defendant shall be at liberty to take plea of limitation under Section 22 of the Limitation Act to the effect that the suit shall be deemed to have been instituted on the date of service of summons on them. He fairly stated that amendment should be allowed in favour of the plaintiffs subject to payment of costs. In view of the consent given by learned counsel for the respondents, which is a fair act on the part of the learned counsel appearing for respondents and is duly appreciated by this Court, I allow this petition. Order impugned is hereby quashed. Application moved by the petitioner under Order 6 Rule 17 CPC is allowed, subject to payment of Rs.25,000/- as costs, which will be paid within 10 days from today. It is, however, made clear that the newly added defendants shall be at liberty to take all the pleas, including the plea of limitation under the Limitation Act. ( Alok Singh ) Judge 09.08.2010 sk.
