Respondents. ----------- 2. 05.7.2011. Heard Mr. Udai Prakash Singh, No.1 learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner and Mr. Ashish Kumar Lal, Assisting Counsel to SC-11 for the State. The writ petition questions the order dated 16.12.2009 passed by Sri B.B.Mishra, F.T.C, IV, Gopalganj in Title Appeal No.65 of 1988 allowing an application filed under order 1 Rule 10 of the Code of Civil Procedure on behalf of the respondent nos.2 to 6 by which they have been permitted to be arrayed as respondents in the appeal. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the respondent nos.2 to 6 had not filed any application for adding as parties at the stage of the suit and thus it was not proper for the 2 appellate court to allow the application after a lapse of 15 years at the stage when the matter was being contested in appeal. The respondent nos.2 to 6 are said to be the members of a Labour Union of the Sugar Factory at Sidhwaliya who have approved the names of these petitioners to be added as the trustees as the original trustee had expired during the pendency of the suit. The contention was opposed by the petitioners who were the appellants therein. The appellate court below, after examining the contention, has come to the conclusion that it would be just and proper to allow the respondent nos.2 to 6 herein to be added as respondents to the appeal for proper adjudication of the appeal. This court finds no reason to disagree with the decision taken by the court below in arraying the respondent nos.2 to 6 as respondents to the appeal In the circumstances, this court finds no merit in the issue raised in the writ petition and it is accordingly dismissed. ahk (Jyoti Saran, J.)
