IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CIVIL APPLICATION NO.92 OF 2007 IN PIL WRIT PETITION NO.16 OF 2004 Janhit Manch, through its President Bhagvanji Raiyani and others .. Applicants Vs Union of India ..Respondents Mr. Bhagvanji Raiyani in person for the petitioners. Mr. S.S. Pakale for the respondent No.1. CORAM: SWATANTER KUMAR, C.J., & J.P. DEVADHAR , J. DATE : 31ST JANUARY, 2008 P.C.: This application is filed by the applicants on the principle of Order 1 Rule 10 of the Civil Procedure Code for addition of a party in the writ petition. The contention raised by the applicant is that one Mr. Sandeep Jalan who is a member of the Managing Committee of the applicant No.1 may be added as co-petitioner. The petition has been filed in the name of the organization and petitioner Nos.2 and 3 besides being its members and the office bearers. 2. The only reason given is that Mr. Jalan is to be added as a petitioner in addition to the other petitioners so that whenever other petitioners are absent, he would argue the matter in person. This prayer is opposed by the learned counsel appearing for the respondent No.1. According to him, this application is neither maintainable in law nor on facts. According to him, under the statutory provisions, this practice should not be encouraged by this court as the present application certainly is beyond the scope of order 1 Rule 10 of the Civil Procedure Code. Further, the petitioners who are dominus litis have to satisfy the provisions or the applicability of the principles of the Civil Procedure Code for addition of the parties. None of them are either pleaded much less satisfied. We see no reason to allow this application and the same is dismissed. CHIEF JUSTICE J.P. DEVADHAR, J.
