3. Prior to filing the impleadment application, the Petitioner had filed Writ Petition No. 12 of 2025, which was lodged on 14.10.2024, which came to be disposed of on 24.07.2025. The order passed in the petition records refusal to exercise jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution of India to direct the Communidade of Cortalim and the Administrator, at that stage, to demolish certain structures which the Petitioner, along with three other Petitioners, claim to be structures illegally constructed by the original Plaintiff. The reason stated in the order of this Court dated 24.07.2025, for refusing to exercise its jurisdiction, was that Petitioner Nos. 1 and 2 therein had also filed proceedings before the Administrator of Communidade of Cortalim for the very same reliefs, seeking demolition orders under the Code of Communidade.

5. The Trial Court has considered the application with a very detailed order. It has applied all the principles applicable to grant impleadment to the suit and has correctly dismissed the application on its merits. It has also considered the observations made by this Court in its order dated 24.07.2025, while disposing of the Petitioner's Writ Petition No. 12 of 2025, which was filed by the Petitioner and three other persons.

6. During the course of hearing of this petition, it has also been stated across the Bar that the Petitioner is not a party to the proceedings before the Administrator, referred to in the order passed in Writ Petition No. 12 of 2025, but has sought independent reliefs against the Communidade of Cortalim th 15 January, 2026 (2) WP 11.2026 and against the Plaintiffs. The reliefs sought therein are for action under Chapter 12 of the Code of Communidade. If this be so, the disposal of Writ Petition No. 12 of 2025, by order dated 24.07.2025, would in any case not cover the application of the Petitioner which is pending before the Administrator.
