Summarize the following court judgment. Civil Appeal No. 767 of Appeal by special leave from the judgment and order dated August 14	 1961 of the Rajasthan High Court in D.P. Civil Misc. Application No. 128 of 1960. Gopi Nath Kunzru	 W.S. Barlingay and Ganpat Rai	 for the appellant. C.B Agarwala	 K.K. Jain	 H.K. Puri and Uma Mehta	 for respondents Nos. 3	 4	 5	 7	 12	 13	 15 18	 21	 23 and 24. The Judgment of the Court was delivered by Bachawat	 J. On September 10	 1955	 Narain Lal	 Mool Chand	 Mangilal and Kesharichand obtained the consent in writing of the Advocate General	 Rajasthan to institute a suit against 917 the respondents under section 92 of the Code of Civil Procedure. The consent was in these terms : "For the reasons detailed above I grant permission to the applicants Sarvashri (1) Narainlal	 (2) Mool Chand	 (3) Mangilal and (4) Seth Kesharichand for filing suit against the opposite parties Shri Malilal Kasliwal and 27 other members and office holders of the executive committee Jain Atishaya Kshetra Shri Mahabir Swami Temple Chandangaon	 for the reliefs detailed in para 28 sub paras I to 5 and 7 of the draft plaint filed by them before me. " Shortly thereafter Mangi Lal died. On March 6	 1956	 Narain. Lal Mool Chand and Kesari Chand instituted a suit against the respondents under section 92 of the Code of Civil Procedure	 claiming a declaration that the temple of Shri Mahabirji at Naurangabad and the appertaining properties were a public charitable trust for the benefit of the Shwetambar Sangh of the Jain community or of the Jain community as a whole and for other reliefs. On March 9	 1958	 Kesari Chand died. The trial court raised and tried the following preliminary issue "Whether the suit is not maintainable on the strength of the permission obtained by the plaintiffs along with Mangi Lai who died prior to the institution of the suit ?" The trial court held that the suit was maintainable. The High Court in its revisional jurisdiction set aside the order of the trial ' court and held that the suit was not maintainable. The present appeal has been tiled from the order of the High Court by special leave. A suit claiming any of the reliefs specified in sub section (1) of section 92 of the Code of Civil Procedure in respect of a trust for public purposes of a charitable or religious nature may be instituted by the Advocate General or "two or more persons having an interest in the trust and having obtained the consent in writing of the Advocate General"	 and save as provided by the and certain other laws	 no suit claiming Such reliefs in respect of any such trust can be instituted except in conformity with sub section (1) of section 92. In the present case	 fourpersons obtained the necessary sanction of the Advocate General. one of them died before the suit was filed	 and the remaining three	 instituted the suit. The question is whether the suit is brought in conformity with section 92(1). The decided cases show that a suit under section 92 must be	 brought by all the persons to whom the sanction of the Advocate General has been given	 and a suit instituted by some of them 918 only is not maintainable. In Muddala Bhagayannarayana V. Vadapalli Perumallacharyulu(1) where the	 sanction was given to four persons and two of them alone brought the suit alleging that the other two had been won over by the defendants and hall refused to join as plaintiffs	 it was held that the suit was not maintainable. In Pitchayya and another vs Venkatakrishnamacharlu and eleven others(2)	 where the sanction was given to three persons	 the court held that the suit instituted by two of them. was invalidly brought and the defect could not be cured by impleading the other person as a defendant. In Sibte Rasul vs Sibte Nabi and others(1)	 where four persons obtained the sanction and the suit was instituted by three of them	 it was held that the suit was incompetent and the defect could not be cured by impleading the fourth as a plaintiff at the date of the delivery of the judgment. We may add that in Venkatesha Malia vs B. Ramaya Hegade and twelve others(1) where the sanction to sue under section 18 of the was given by the district judge to two persons	 it was held that only one of them could not institute the suit. We hold that an authority to sue given to several persons without more is a joint authority and must be acted upon by all jointly	 and a suit by some of them only is not competent. As Sir George Rankin said in Musammat Ali Begam vs Badr ul Islam Ali Khan(1)	 "where the consent in writing of the Advocate General or Collector is given to a suit by three persons as plaintiffs	 the suit cannot be validly instituted by two only. The suit as instituted must conform to the consent. Once the representative suit is validly instituted	 it is subject to all the incidents of such a suit; the subsequent death of a plaintiff will not render the suit incompetent	 see Raja Anand Rao vs Ramdas Daduram(6)	 and an appeal by some of the plaintiffs impleading the remaining plaintiff as a respondent is not incompetent because all did not join as appellants	 see Musammat Ali Begam vs Badr ul Islam Ali Khan (5). In Shea Ram vs Rain Chand and others ( 7 the sanction of the Collector to bring a suit under section 92 was given to twenty persons. One of them died before the suit was brought and the remaining nineteen instituted the suit. Skempg	 J. held that in view of tile two Privy Council rulings the suit was validly instituted. But he erroneously assumed that in Musammat Ali Begam vs Badr ul Islam Ali Khan(5) it was held that where the sanction had been given to three persons	 a suit by two of them only was validly (1) (2) I.L.R. (3) I.L.R. (1943) All. 112. (4) 1.L.R. 38 Mad. (5) I.L.R. 65 1. A. 198. (6) L.R. 48 I.A. 12. (7) A.I.R. 1940 Lah. 919 instituted. From the report of Raja Anand Rao vs Ramdas Daduram(1)	 it is not clear whether all the persons to whom the sanction was given brought the suit	 and the point raised and decided was that the death of one of the plaintiffs after the institution of the suit did not render the suit incompetent. We are unable to agree with the Lahore ruling. Where sanction is given to four persons and one of them dies before the institution of the suit	 a suit by the remaining three is incompetent. Fresh sanction must be obtained by the survivors for the institution of the suit. We must hold that the suit brought by the appellants was competent. The High Court rightly held that the suit was not maintainable. This judgment will not bar the institution of a fresh suit in conformity with a fresh consent obtained from the Advocate General or Collector. In the result	 the appeal is dismissed without costs. G.C. Appeal dismissed (1) L. R. 48 I.A. 12.

Four persons obtained. the consent of the Advocate General of Rajasthan to institute a suit against the respondents under section 92 of the Code o	f Civil Procedure. Shortly thereafter one of the said four persons died and the suit was instituted by the three survivors. On the preliminary issue whether the suit filed by three persons	 when the permission had been given to. four	 was maintainable	 the trial court held that it was. The High COurt	 however	 in revision held the suit not to. be maintainable. Appeal was filed in this Court by special leave. HELD: An authority to sue given to several persons without more is a joint authority and must be exercised by all jointly	 and a suit by some of them only is not competent. When sanction in the present case was given to. four persons and one of them died before the institution of the suit	 a suit by the remaining three was incompetent. Fresh sanction must be obtained by the survivors for the institution of the suit.
