Civil Revision No. 1823 of 2010 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Revision No. 1823 of 2010 Date of Decision: March 22, 2010 Gurbachan Singh ...... Petitioner Versus Budh Singh and others ...... Respondents Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Ajay Tewari Present: Mr.P.S.Jammu, Advocate for the petitioner. **** 1. Whether Reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? Ajay Tewari, J. This revision has been filed against the order whereby the prayer of the petitioner for simultaneous decision of two suits viz. CS No. 130-C of 2004/2009 and Civil Suit No. 3-C of 2009 has been rejected. The learned trial court has noticed that the earlier suit was filed in 2004 and the instant suit (which was filed by the petitioner) was filed in the year 2009. Learned counsel has argued that in fact the property belonged to Hari Singh who was the grand father of both the sets of parties. His cousins have fraudulently and collusively in order to usurp the share of the property initiated some inter se dispute among themselves and that in fact he obtained knowledge of these nefarious deeds only when the written Civil Revision No. 1823 of 2010 2 statement was filed to his suit. As per learned counsel it would be in the interest of justice if both the suits are decided together since they both relate to the inheritance of Hari Singh. I put it to the learned counsel as to what effect a suit to which his client was not a party would have on his rights. Learned counsel has stated that such a suit could have no effect on his client since his client was not a party. In the circumstances even if the allegations made by the petitioner are accepted yet the suit filed by his cousins could have no possible effect on his rights. In case in his suit the petitioner is able to establish his right, any decree to which he was not a party could not prejudicially affect him. Consequently finding no merit in this petition, the same is dismissed. (AJAY TEWARI) JUDGE March 22 , 2010 sunita
