Sangram Singh vs Election Tribunal, Kotah,Bhurey Lal ... on 22 March, 1955

13. I may, with due respect to the learned Judges, mention that the observations of the Supreme Court in Sangram Singh's case AIR 1955 SC 425 as to the interpretation to be placed on procedural law were totally ignored as well as the rule that it is not in every case that non-compliance with the provisions of Order 32, Rule 3 makes a decree null and void. The object of Order 32 is to see that no decrees are passed against minors where they are not effectively represented. I have deliberately used the words 'effectively represented' in contradistinction to the 'representation' contemplated by Order 32, Rule 3. If a minor is represented by a guardian ad-litem and the interests of the other major defendants are identical with him and those defendants are effectively prosecuting the litigation it can hardly be said that a minor is not effectively represented. Too much insistence on technical provisions of a procedural law can at times lead to absurd results and cause injustice to parties. It is only where a Court comes to the conclusion that the minor was not effectively represented and thus he was in fact not a party to the proceedings that the result envisaged by the learned Judges would necessarily follow. But where the minor is effectively represented, though technically not in line with the provisions of Order 32, Rule 3, the said result will necessarily not follow.
