IN THE HIGH COURT OF UTTARAKHAND AT NAINITAL Writ Petition No. 924 of 2008 (M/S) Shri Harshvardhan Dua …….. Petitioner Versus Mussorie Dehradun Development Authority and others ….. Respondents AND Writ Petition No. 925 of 2008 (M/S) Smt. Sumitra Devi ….. Petitioner Versus Mussoorie Dehradun Development Authority and others …… Respondents …… Mr. S.K.Jain, Advocate for the petitioenr. Mr. S.Dhulia, Senior Advocate with Mr. Vipul Sharma, Advocate for respondent no. 1. Mr. Alok Singh, Senior Counsel with Mr. P.Tangwan, Advocate for respondent 2 & 3. Hon’ble V.K. Gupta, C.J. By this common judgment, both these petitions are being disposed of together. In Writ Petition No. 925 of 2008, one short affidavit has been filed by Mr. Anupam Sharma, Revenue Inspector, Mussorrie-Dehradun Development Authority, Dehradun, in which, inter alia, it has been stated that shops nos. 9-A and 18-A on the ground floor and first floor, respectively, were ear-marked as toilets because even though there is a toilet on the second floor complex, there is no toilet on the ground floor and the first floor of the complex. Respondents 2 and 3 herein were added as party defendants in the suit filed by the petitioners in terms of Order I Rule 10 C.P.C. by order passed by the trial Court on 28.01.2008. This order was upheld by the learned Appellate Court on 05.05.2008. After hearing the learned counsel for the parties, I feel and find that respondents 2 and 3 herein, indeed, were necessary and proper parties in view of the averments made by them in the application for impleadment. I am saying so because I find that the interests of the shop-keepers have been entrusted to them and the question whether the aforesaid shop nos. 9-A and 18-A were ear-marked as toilet places or not were intrinsically inter-linked as far as the determination of issues in controversy in the suit are concerned. Both the Courts below were justified in allowing the impleadment applications. No interference is called for. Both the petitions are dismissed. (V.K. Gupta, C.J.) 02.07.2008 A
