Seth Nandaramdas Atmaram By Agent ... vs Zulika Bibi And Ors. on 23 February, 1943
This was all right so far as it went, and it was the Munsiff who was in error at that stage in having thrown out the plaintiff's case on the ground of limitation even though no new party applied to be impleaded as a party in the case, the suit being of course a representative suit under Section 53 of the Transfer of Property Act. Reference may be made at this place to Nandaramdas v. Zulika Bibi, AIR 1943 Mad 531. It was held in this case that a suit under Section 53 of the Transfer of Property Act to be properly framed must be instituted on behalf of or for the benefit of all the creditors and not merely for the benefit of the plaintiff alone, and that it would be further necessary in such a suit to obtain the permission of the court to sue in a representative capacity under Order 1, Rule 8, C.P.C., and it was further held that where the suit was wrongly framed and the permission of the court had not been obtained under Order 1, Rule 8, it was liable to be summarily dismissed.
