This application was opposed by the respondents. It was dismissed by the learned trial Court vide impugned order dated 27.11.2006. Hence, the present petition. It was submitted that department of Industries, Government of Punjab was a necessary party and,therefore, it should be impleaded. This submission has been considered. It has no merit at all. The respondents have filed a suit for recovery against the petitioner. The petitioner is to resist the said suit. The Department of Industries is not the necessary party between the dispute pending between the parties. Therefore, the application filed by the petitioner for impleadment of the Department of Industries, Government of Punjab is totally misconceived. It was then submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioner that Amar Singh was stated to be the attorney of the petitioner who has now died. Therefore, the legal heirs of Amar Singh were necessary parties. This submission has also been considered. It is equally devoid of merit. The suit has been filed against the petitioner by the respondents. The attorney himself was not a necessary party and the question of impleading legal heirs of Amar Singh is merely foreign to the controversy involved in the litigation between the parties. Therefore, neither the Department of Industries was a Civil Revision No.228 of 2007. 3 necessary party nor the legal heirs of Amar Singh. The learned trial Court has rightly dismissed the application filed by the petitioner vide impugned order dated 27.11.2006.
