Smt. Veena Wd/O Dilip Gorey vs Ashok S/O Daulatrao Goray And Another on 1 July, 2019

8. Shri R.N.Ghuge, learned counsel for the respondent no.1 supported the impugned order. He submitted that no prejudice was caused to the petitioner considering the nature of order passed by the trial Court. The respondent no.1 had not been appointed as the next friend of the petitioner but had been directed to act as the person willing to be the next friend of the petitioner. Moreover such appointment was only till completion of the enquiry as to the unsoundness of the plaintiff no.1/petitioner herein. He referred to the provisions of Order XXXII Rule 15 of the Code and submitted that since the suit was filed with the aid of the next friend and said next friend had expired, it was all the more necessary to permit the respondent no.1 to represent the interest of the petitioner. According to him, enquiry directed to be held by the trial Court could be done expeditiously by continuing the appointment of the respondent no.1 as the person willing to be the next friend. He placed reliance on the decisions in Raj Kumar Vs. Rameshchand and others, (1999) 8 SCC 29, Somnath Vs. Tipanna Ramchandra Jannu AIR 1973 Bombay 276 and Gulshan Rohington Irani Vs. Rayomand Rohinton Irani and others, 2018(4) BCR 69 in support of his submissions.
