To Judge sk/- K.A.ABDUL GAFOOR, J. -------------------------------------- W.P.(C).No.28250 of 2005 K -------------------------------------- Dated this the 1st day of January, 2007. JUDGMENT Abdul Gafoor, J. The first respondent initiated proceedings claiming some declaratory right over the property where a school is situated. The property was originally owned by four persons. In the suit, almost three dozen persons are impleaded as defendants, who include the legal representatives of founders of the school. The petitioner, is one among the legal representatives of one among the four founders so impleaded. That is rejected by the trial court stating that, if at all any relief is granted, that will not be binding on the petitioner. Ext.P2 is the order in that regard. It is challenged in this writ petition. 2. When already 35 persons are already on the party array and when the petitioner is contending W.P.(C).No.28250 of 2005 :: 2 :: that he is one among the legal representatives of the four founders of the school, necessarily, he has a locus standi to get himself impleaded. There was no reason to court out him. Accordingly, Ext.P2 is set aside and Ext.P1 application is allowed impleading the petitioner herein as an additional defendant. The trial court shall carry out the necessary amendment. Writ petition is allowed as above.
