appearing on behalf of the Board has rightly placed reliance
on Supreme Courts decision in case of R. Dhansundari @ R.
Rajeswari Vs. A.N. Umakanth & Ors. (supra). In the said

holder of the plaintiff and when the Power was enforced, the
power given to him was cancelled. When the power was
enforced, the plaintiff had sold most of the suit items. The
purchasers, thereafter, moved an application to implead
themselves as plaintiffs which was allowed. Later, the
plaintiffs had filed an application to transpose some of the
plaintiffs as defendants which was also allowed. After the trial
had commenced and the plaintiff's witnesses had been
examined, the plaintiff and one of the defendants entered into
compromise and filed a memo stating that the suit was not to
be pressed as settled out of the Court. It was, in such
circumstance, that an application was made on behalf of other
contesting defendants for their transposition on the plea that
the withdrawal was collusive in nature.
Thakur Chaudhry And Ors. vs Brahmdeo Chaudhry And Ors. on 16 February, 1978
In case of Thakur
Chaudhry and Others Vs. Brahmdeo Chaudhry and Others
(supra), this Court observed, inter alia, in paragraph-7 that a
person can be added as a co-plaintiff when he can adopt the
plaintiff's case. Persons having conflicting cases cannot be
made co-plaintiffs and if the plaintiff and the defendant have
conflicting cases, the question of making the defendant a
plaintiff and the plaintiff a defendant does not arise unless

such a contingency occurs when, for instance, "the plaiantiff
is withdrawing from the suit".

Basudeb Narayan Singh And Ors. vs Shesh Narayan Singh And Ors. on 19 May, 1978
5. Mr. Prasad, learned senior counsel appearing on
behalf of the petitioner has at the very outset submitted that
the Secretary of the Board is no legal entity and there is no
decision of the Board within the meaning of the Act which
could be the basis for the claim of defendant No. 4 to be
transposed as plaintiff. He has submitted, applying the
doctrine of dominus litis that a plaintiff is the master of his
case and he is at liberty to withdraw his suit at any stage.
According to him, in the nature of dispute, defendant No. 4
could not have been transposed as a plaintiff as in the plaint,
the plaintiffs have been claiming their title which relief the
Board cannot claim. It is his submission accordingly that in no
case, defendant No. 4 could have been transposed as a
plaintiff. He has placed reliance on decisions of this Court in
case of Thakur Chaudhry and Others Vs. Brahmdeo
