Md. Zamiruddin And Ors. vs Mrs. Fatima Ahmad And Ors. on 24 January, 1978
7. Mr. S. C. Ghose, learned counsel appearing for the petitioners, however,
tried to distinguish Protap Chandra Singh's case (AIR 1974 Pat 135} on the ground that in that case, the sub-lessee was a party. The law is now settled that in a suit for eviction, a sub-tenant is not a necessary party and accordingly, even if he is made a party by way of abundant caution, the expunging of his name from the suit at the instance of the plaintiff would not lead to the abatement of the suit as a whole and on principle, to my mind, it would hardly make a difference whether such a sub-tenant was made a party or not,
