The State Of Punjab vs Nathu Ram on 1 May, 1961
In a case reported as State of Punjab v. Nathu
Ram, AIR 1962 SC 89, while interpreting Order I, Rule 9
rt
CPC before the addition of proviso, it has been held in
paragraph 5 that if the Court can deal with the matter in
controversy so far as regards the rights and interests of the
appellant and the respondents other than the deceased
respondent, it has to proceed with the matter, but if it is not
possible for the Court to deal with the matter in the absence
of a party, it has to refuse to proceed further and dismiss the
matter and such eventuality will occur in the absence of
necessary party. It is made clear that Rule 9 will not apply to
the defect in the suit as of non-joinder of necessary parties
as it cannot proceed in their absence.

law permits a co-owner to file a suit for possession against
the tenant/unauthorized occupant without impleading the
other co-owners then there cannot be any estoppel against
of
the law and as such the suit filed by the plaintiff without
impleading the other co-owners cannot be held to be bad for
rt
non- joinder of necessary parties. It shall also not be out of
place to mention here that the suit filed by the plaintiff
against the defendant was that for possession and recovery
of damages and by no stretch of imagination it can be said
that without impleading the other co-owners of the suit
property no effective order/adjudication can be done in the
present case and even as per the test laid down in the case
of Aliji Momonji (Supra) for determining as to who is the
necessary party, then it can be safely held that the other co-

Savitri Agarwalla (Smt.) and Ors. (2004) 3 SCC 178
that a suit for eviction of a tenant can be maintained by
one of the co-owners and it would be no defence to the
tenant to question the maintainability of the suit on the
ground that the other co-owners were not joined as
parties to the suit. The judicially propounded
proposition is that when the property forming the
subject matter of eviction proceedings is owned by
several co-owners, every co-owner owns every part
and every bit of the joint property along with others and
thus it cannot be said that he is only a part owner or a
fractional owner of the property and that he can alone
maintain a suit for eviction of the tenant without joining

S. Thangappan vs P. Padmavathy on 24 August, 1999
34. "That a tenant during the continuance of the
tenancy is debarred on the doctrine of estoppel from
denying the title of his landlord through whom he
claims tenancy, as is enshrined in Section 116 of the
Indian Evidence Act, 1872, is so well- settled a legal
postulation that no decision need be cited to further
consolidate the same. This enunciation, amongst
of
others is reiterated by this Court in S. Thangappan vs.
P. Padmavathu (1999) 7 SCC 474 and Bhogadi
Kannababu and Ors. vs. Vuggina Pydamma and
Others (2006) 5 SCC 53. In any view of the matter, the
rt
appellants, being the son of Bhola Nath, who at all
relevant time, was the landlord vis-a-vis the original
defendant and the respondents in terms of Section 3(j)
of the Act, their status as landlords for the purpose of
eviction under the Act, could not have been questioned
so as to non- suit them for want of locus."
