It has been submitted that the applicants are necessary parties in view of the fact that the property is a joint one and a suit for partition is pending for consideration before the learned Court below.

As the Court has come to an opinion that the petitioner may approach the learned Court below for redressal in the municipal appeal that is pending, accordingly, the applicants will be at liberty to approach the learned court below for being added as parties, in the event they are not impleaded as parties in the said appeal. Accordingly, this writ petition along with connected application stands disposed of.
