"(I)t is quite clear that the law does not require that the sub­lessee need be made a party. It has been rightly pointed out by the High Court that in all cases where the landlord institutes a suit against the lessee for possession of the land on the basis of a valid notice to quit served on the lessee and does not implead the sub­ lessee as a party to the suit, the object of the landlord is to eject the sub­lessee from the land in execution of the decree and such an object is quite legitimate. The decree in such a suit would bind the sub­lessee. This may act harshly on the sub­lessee; but this is a position well understood by him when he took the sub­lease.
