THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 26/11/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: K.P.BALACHANDRAN, J. ------------------------------------------------ W. P. C. No.28039 of 2008 ------------------------------------------------ Dated this the 26th day of November, 2008 JUDGMENT The petitioner is a stranger to O.S.65/1956 on the file of the Subordinate Judge's Court, Ottapalam. He filed I.A.1242/08 in the above suit in the final decree proceedings to get himself impleaded on the ground that he has entered into an agreement with certain sharers as per an agreement of the year 1995 to purchase the shares that may be allotted to them in the final decree, but that those sharers are not showing keen interest in having a final decree passed in the suit and that therefore, he may be impleaded as a party in the final decree proceedings under Order I Rule 10 of the C.P.C. The final decree court dismissed the said application vide Ext.P3 order. The prayer of the petitioner in this Writ Petition is to W. P. C. No.28039 of 2008 -2- set aside Ext.P3 and to direct the Sub Court, Ottapalam to allow I.A.1242/08 and to implead the petitioner as 91st respondent in I.A. 1265/73 which is the application for passing of final decree in the suit O.S.65/1956. 2. What the petitioner has in his favour is only an agreement to purchase property entered into with some of the sharers to purchase the properties allotted to their shares under the final decree. He has no right on the basis of the agreement to get himself impleaded in the final decree proceedings. The validity of the agreement is not a matter to be enquired into in the final decree proceedings in the suit and the agreement does not confer any right in favour of the petitioner over the properties found partible in the suit. The remedy of the petitioner who is a third party to the suit is to have his right under the agreement for sale executed in W. P. C. No.28039 of 2008 -3- his favour enforced, when the time for performance comes. The dismissal of the application to get himself impleaded passed by the court below vide Ext.P3 order deserves only to be confirmed and I do so. This Writ Petition is devoid of merit. 3. In the result, I dismiss this Writ Petition. K.P.BALACHANDRAN, JUDGE kns/-
