CIVIL REVISION PETITION No.895 OF 2026
DATE: 26.03.2026
Between:
Palugucheruvu Mahesh and another
...Petitioners
AND
Darga @ KarreAilamma and 12 others
...Respondents
Mr. P.Mounik Reddy, learned counsel representing Ms. Manjiri S. Ganu,
learned counsel appearing for the petitioners.
ORDER:
1. The Civil Revision Petition arises out of an order dated
17.02.2025 passed by the learned XII Additional District Judge,
Ranga Reddy District at L.B. Nagar, in I.A.No.150 of 2023 in
O.S.No.529 of 2018 filed by the petitioners herein.
2. The respondent Nos.1 to 3 herein filed the Suit against
the respondent Nos.4 to 13 seeking a declaration that the
documents dated 05.08.1988 and 06.08.1988 are null and void
and not binding upon the plaintiffs. The plaintiffs also sought
for a direction to the defendant Nos.4, 5, 7 to 10 to vacate and
handover the vacant possession of the suit schedule 'B-D'
properties to the plaintiffs and for a perpetual injunction
restraining the defendant Nos.4, 5, 7 to 10 from alienating or
changing the nature of the suit schedule 'B-D' properties until
vacant possession of the same is handed over to the plaintiffs.
In the said Suit, the petitioners herein filed I.A.No.150 of 2023
seeking to impleaded themselves as the proposed plaintiff Nos.4
and 5.
3. The petitioners claim to be the subsequent purchasers of
the suit schedule 'A' property, as submitted by learned counsel
appearing for the petitioners/proposed plaintiff Nos.4 and 5.
4. Since counsel appearing for the petitioners sought to
make his submissions, the Court proceeded to hear the matter.
5. Upon perusing the impugned order passed by the Trial
Court, this Court does not find any error in the impugned order.
Paragraph No.7 of the impugned order clearly sets out the
reasons as to why the petitioners had no cause of action to be
impleaded as the proposed plaintiff Nos.4 and 5. The Trial
Court, in fact, also indicated that if there is any separate cause
of action, the petitioners have liberty to file a separate Suit
against the defendants.
6. The reasons given by the Trial Court are correct for
several reasons. First, the petitioner filed the I.A seeking their
impleadment 5 years after the filing of the Suit. Second, the
petitioners claim to be subsequent purchasers of suit schedule
'A' property, whereas the Suit was filed for declaration and for
the vacant possession of suit schedule 'B-D' properties, as is
clear from the prayers in the Suit. Third, neither the
submissions made nor the affidavit filed by the petitioners
disclose any clear basis for seeking impleadment as the
proposed plaintiff Nos.4 and 5 in the Suit, whereas the
petitioners could have filed an independent Suit for declaration
and injunction/direction.
7. Hence, the prayer for impleadment, as the proposed
plaintiff Nos.4 and 5 in a Suit filed in 2018 for declaration and
injunction is completely misconceived.
8. The provisions of The Code of Civil Procedure, 1908
require a clear basis for impleadment, either as necessary or
proper parties. The petitioners have not been able to satisfy any
of the requirements provided under the law.
9. C.R.P.No.895 of 2026, along with all connected
applications, is accordingly dismissed. There shall be no order
as to costs.
