Mr.G.Sridharan\n\n\n:ORDER\n<\/pre>\n<p>\tThis civil revision petition has been filed under Article 227 of the<br \/>\nConstitution of India praying to strike off the plaint filed in Original Suit<br \/>\nNo.3 of 2010 on the file of the Principal District Court, Pudukottai in respect<br \/>\nof the revision petitioners.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t2. The first respondent herein as plaintiff has instituted Original Suit<br \/>\nNo.3 of 2010 on the file of the Principal District Court, Pudukottai praying to<br \/>\npass a decree of specific performance and also for passing perpetual injunction,<br \/>\nwherein the present revision petitioners have been shown as defendants 1, 2, 3,<br \/>\n5, 6, 8 to 24 and 26 to 37.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t3. In the plaint it is averred that both the plaintiff and 25th defendant<br \/>\nby name V.R.Narasimhalu have entered into a sale agreement dated 20.09.2000 and<br \/>\nthereby the 25th defendant has agreed to sell the properties mentioned in the<br \/>\nschedule for a sum of Rs.63,00,000\/- to the plaintiff and on the date of sale<br \/>\nagreement, the plaintiff has given a sum of Rs.10,00,000\/- by way of an advance<br \/>\nand since the 25th defendant has failed to execute a sale deed in favour of the<br \/>\nplaintiff, Original Suit No.3 of 2010 has been instituted for the reliefs sought<br \/>\nfor therein.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t4. In the present civil revision petition it has been contended that the<br \/>\nproperties mentioned in the schedule in Original Suit No.3 of 2010 are belonged<br \/>\nto the first defendant viz., M\/s.Southern and Rajamani Transport Private Limited<br \/>\nand subsequently the first defendant has been liquidated  as per Company<br \/>\nApplication No.1503 of 2008 and the same has been confirmed by the High Court in<br \/>\nCompany Petition No.71 of 1974 and thereafter a liquidator has been appointed<br \/>\nand now he is having administration over the same. Further it has been contended<br \/>\nthat the first respondent\/plaintiff is not having cause of action so as to<br \/>\ninstitute Original Suit No.3 of 2010 against the defendants 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 8 to<br \/>\n24 and 26 to 37 (revision petitioners). Under the said circumstances, the plaint<br \/>\nfiled in Original Suit No.3 of 2010 on the file of the Principal District Court,<br \/>\nPudukottai is liable to be struck off in respect of the  defendants 1, 2, 3, 5,<br \/>\n6, 8 to 24 and 26 to 37.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t5. Before pondering the rival submissions made by either counsel, it has<br \/>\nbecome shunless to find out as to whether the first respondent\/plaintiff is<br \/>\nhaving cause of action so as to institute Original Suit No.3 of 2010 against the<br \/>\nrevision petitioners\/defendants 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 8 to 24 and 26 to 37. It has<br \/>\nalready been pointed out that Original Suit No.3 of 2010 has been instituted on<br \/>\nthe file of the Principal District Court, Pudukottai on the basis of the alleged<br \/>\nsale agreement dated 20.09.2000 entered into betwixt the first<br \/>\nrespondent\/plaintiff and fourth respondent \/25th defendant.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t6. The main attack made on the side of the revision petitioners is that<br \/>\nsince the agreement dated 20.09.200 has become emerged betwixt the first<br \/>\nrespondent\/plaintiff and fourth respondent\/25th defendant, the revision<br \/>\npetitioners are totally unnecessary parties and no cause of action has arisen so<br \/>\nas to institute Original Suit No.3 of 2010 against them.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t7. Cause of action means a group of operative facts giving rise to one or<br \/>\nmore bases for suing; a factual situation that entitles one person to obtain a<br \/>\nremedy in Court from another person. Therefore, it is pellucid that for<br \/>\ninstituting a suit, there must be a cause of action against a person so as to<br \/>\nobtain a remedy in Court.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t8. The specific case of the first respondent\/plaintiff is that he and<br \/>\nfourth respondent\/25th defendant have entered into sale agreement dated<br \/>\n20.09.2000 and thereby the fourth respondent\/25th defendant has agreed to sell<br \/>\nthe properties mentioned in the schedule for a sum of Rs.63,00,000\/- and thereby<br \/>\nhe received a sum of Rs.10,00,000\/- by way of an advance.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t9. In paragraph-2 of the sale agreement dated 20.09.2000, it is stated<br \/>\nlike thus:\n<\/p>\n<p>\tWhereas the vendor is seized and possessed of all the piece of vacant land<br \/>\nin all measuring 1-82 acres comprised in various survey numbers situated at<br \/>\nNo.52, Thirumayam Road, Pudukottai, bearing patta No.5406, more fully described<br \/>\nin the schedules A and B, absolutely free from encumbrances and the said<br \/>\nproperty had originally belonged to one Southern Rajamani Transport Pvt. Ltd., a<br \/>\ncompany duly registered under the provisions of the Companies Act;\n<\/p>\n<p>\t10. In paragraph-4 it is stated like thus:\n<\/p>\n<p>\tWhereas prior to the filing of the said C.P.No.71 of 1974, a regular<br \/>\nagreement had been drafted and as per the agreement, the Directors of the<br \/>\ncompany had been allotted with distinct properties and accordingly the vacant<br \/>\nland comprised in door No.52, Thirumayam Road, Pudukottai pertaining to the<br \/>\nproperty more fully described in the schedules A and B had been allotted to<br \/>\nB.V.Rajagopal Naidu, the father of the vendor herein. The said property is once<br \/>\nagain allotted to the said B.V.Rajagopal Naidu and accordingly he had also asked<br \/>\nto discharge some liability as per the understanding arrived at in the<br \/>\nsubsequent agreement dated 14.1.1976. All the 6 directors, who were physically<br \/>\nalive on the date of the said agreement, had signed the said agreement and<br \/>\naccordingly all the directors had given powers to B.V.Rajagopal Naidu to take<br \/>\nevery step for effecting the liquidation and for completing the same and also to<br \/>\nincur expenses in this connection etc. In the counter statement filed by one<br \/>\nB.V.Balakrishna Naidu, one of the directors of the company had categorically<br \/>\nsaid that the agreement dated 10.08.1972 is acted upon and the same provides for<br \/>\ncomplete division of all the assets and liabilities of the company. Under Clause<br \/>\n10 of the agreement dated 10.08.1972, the property at Pudukottai more fully<br \/>\ndescribed in the schedules A and B are allotted to B.V.Rajagopal Naidu and<br \/>\nsimilarly the facts are also reiterated in the Counter Statement filed by the<br \/>\nother director Mr.Mohan Ram Naidu. The said B.V.Rajagopal Naidu died on<br \/>\n21.12.1981 leaving behind his wife Pitchammal, 3 sons and 3 daughters. His wife<br \/>\nPitchammal also has passed away on 18.08.1990. The sisters of V.R.Narasimhalu,<br \/>\nG.Rajalakshmi wife of Gajapathy and S.Meenalochini, wife of S.Sudarsanam had<br \/>\nexecuted a release deed in favour of V.R.Narasimhalu on 15.11.1984 duly<br \/>\nregistered as Document No.79 of 1984 at the office of the Sub Registrar,<br \/>\nCoonoor. On 19.11.1984 another daughter of late B.V.Rajagopal Naidu by name<br \/>\nK.Malleswari wife of Krishnamoorthy had executed a release deed in favour of<br \/>\nV.R.Narasimhalu and the said release deed also had been duly registered at the<br \/>\noffice of the Sub Registrar, Madurai as document No.186 of 1984 and similarly on<br \/>\n10.1.1992 the son of late B.V.Rajagopal Naidu, V.R.Ram Mohan had executed a<br \/>\nrelease deed in favour of the vendor duly registered as document No.35 of 1992<br \/>\nat the office of the Sub Registrar, Madurai. Further on 30.12.1999 another son<br \/>\nof late B.V.Rajagopal Naidu V.R.Venkateswaran had executed an unregistered<br \/>\nrelease deed in favour of V.R.Narasimhalu and the same had been attested by a<br \/>\nNotary public at Madurai. Thereafter, the sole surviving director of the company<br \/>\nunder liquidation in C.P.No.71 of 1974 R.Venkatasamy had executed a power of<br \/>\nattorney in favour of the vendor dated 27.1.2000 duly registered at the office<br \/>\nof the Sub Registrar, Madurai as document No.196 of 2000. Hence the vendor is<br \/>\nentitled to deal with the said property and accordingly he is also authorised to<br \/>\nrepresent the company now in liquidation.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t11. From the close reading of paragraphs &#8211; 2 and 4 of the sale agreement<br \/>\ndated 20.09.2000, it is quite clear that the fourth respondent\/25th defendant<br \/>\nhas executed the same in his individual capacity and further, the definite stand<br \/>\ntaken by him is that the properties mentioned in the sale agreement dated<br \/>\n20.09.2000 have been allotted to his father by name B.V.Rajagopal Naidu and<br \/>\nsubsequently the other heirs of B.V.Rajagopal Naidu have executed release deeds<br \/>\nin his favour and therefore, in his individual capacity he executed the sale<br \/>\nagreement dated 20.09.2000. Since the sale agreement dated 20.09.2000 has been<br \/>\nexecuted by the fourth respondent\/25th defendant in his individual capacity and<br \/>\nsince his definite stand is that all the properties mentioned therein have been<br \/>\nallotted to his father viz., B.V.Rajagopal Naidu, the sale agreement dated<br \/>\n20.09.2000 is not binding upon the revision petitioners\/defendants 1, 2, 3, 5,<br \/>\n6, 8 to 24 and 26 to 37.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t12. It has already been pointed out that for instituting a suit so as to<br \/>\nget relief from another person, there must be a cause of action or causes of<br \/>\naction. Unless cause of action has arisen against a particular person, he or she<br \/>\ncannot be impleaded in a suit. To put it in nutshell, there must be a legal tie<br \/>\nso as to implead a person in a legal proceeding. In the instant case, as pointed<br \/>\nout earlier, the sale agreement dated 20.09.2000 has become emerged in between<br \/>\nthe first respondent\/ plaintiff and fourth respondent\/25th defendant. At the<br \/>\nmost, the court can come to a conclusion that there is a privity of contract in<br \/>\nbetween the first respondent\/plaintiff and fourth respondent\/25th defendant.<br \/>\nFurther there is no privity of contract in between the first<br \/>\nrespondent\/plaintiff and revision petitioners\/defendants 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 8 to 24<br \/>\nand 26 to 37. Since there is no privity of contract between the first<br \/>\nrespondent\/plaintiff and revision petitioners\/defendants 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 8 to 24<br \/>\nand 26 to 37, no suit can be instituted against them. Even though there is no<br \/>\nprivity of contract betwixt the revision petitioners\/defendants 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 8<br \/>\nto 24 and 26 to 37 and first respondent\/plaintiff, the revision petitioners\/<br \/>\ndefendants 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 8 to 24 and 26 to 37, the revision<br \/>\npetitioners\/defendants 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 8 to 24 and 26 to 37 have been arrayed as<br \/>\nparties in Original Suit No.3 of 2010. Since no privity of contract is in<br \/>\nexistence betwixt the first respondent\/plaintiff and revision petitioners\/<br \/>\ndefendants 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 8 to 24 and 26 to 37, it is needless to say that the<br \/>\nrevision petitioners are totally unnecessary parties to Original Suit No.3 of<br \/>\n2010. Since the revision petitioners\/defendants 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 8 to 24 and 26 to<br \/>\n37 are totally unnecessary parties to Original Suit No.3 of 2010, it is needless<br \/>\nto say that the plaint filed in Original Suit No.3 of 2010 is liable to be<br \/>\nstruck off in respect of them.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t13. Now the Court has to look into the submissions made by either counsel.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t14. The learned Senior Counsel appearing for the revision petitioners has<br \/>\nlaconically and also ingeniously contended that the sale agreement dated<br \/>\n20.09.2000 has come into existence in between the first respondent\/plaintiff and<br \/>\nfourth respondent\/25th defendant so as to sell the properties mentioned in<br \/>\nOriginal Suit No.3 of 2010 and the revision petitioners are not at all parties<br \/>\nto the same and further, the fourth respondent\/25th defendant has not executed<br \/>\nthe same for himself and on behalf of the revision petitioners. But the first<br \/>\nrespondent\/ plaintiff has chosen to implead the revision petitioners in Original<br \/>\nSuit No.3 of 2010 as  defendants 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 8 to 24 and 26 to 37 and the<br \/>\nPrincipal District Court, Pudukottai without considering the basic principle of<br \/>\nlaw that there is no privity of contract in between the revision<br \/>\npetitioners\/defendants 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 8 to 24 and 26 to 37 and first<br \/>\nrespondent\/plaintiff and also without considering binding nature of the sale<br \/>\nagreement dated 20.09.2000, has erroneously taken the plaint on file in Original<br \/>\nSuit No.3 of 2010 against the revision petitioners\/defendants 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 8<br \/>\nto 24 and 26 to 37. The Principal District Court, Pudukottai has done clear<br \/>\ninjustice and also miscarriage of justice. Under the said circumstances, the<br \/>\nrevision petitioners\/defendants 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 8 to 24 and 26 to 37 are entitled<br \/>\nto invoke the provision of Article 227 of the Constitution of India so as to get<br \/>\nthe relief sought for in the revision petition. Under the said circumstances,<br \/>\nthe plaint filed in Original Suit No.3 of 2010 is liable to be struck off in<br \/>\nrespect of the revision petitioners\/defendants 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 8 to 24 and 26 to\n<\/p>\n<p>37.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t15. In order to controvert the argument advanced by the learned Senior<br \/>\nCounsel appearing for the revision petitioners\/defendants 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 8 to 24<br \/>\nand 26 to 37, the learned counsel appearing for the first respondent\/plaintiff<br \/>\nhas also equally contended that even though the sale agreement dated 20.09.2000<br \/>\nhas become emerged in between the first respondent\/plaintiff and fourth<br \/>\nrespondent\/25th defendant, since the suit properties are originally belonged to<br \/>\nthe first defendant\/first revision petitioner herein viz., M\/s.Southern and<br \/>\nRajamani Transport Private Ltd., and since the revision petitioners are also<br \/>\nhaving interest in it, they have been impleaded as parties to Original Suit No.3<br \/>\nof 2010 and further, they have been impleaded as if in a suit for specific<br \/>\nperformance a subsequent purchaser is liable to be impleaded and if the revision<br \/>\npetitioners are having genuine grievance with regard to their inclusion in<br \/>\nOriginal Suit No.3 of 2010, their proper remedy is only to file a petition under<br \/>\nOrder 7 Rule 11 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 and without invoking the<br \/>\nsame, the present civil revision petition is not legally maintainable and<br \/>\nArticle 227 of the Constitution of India can be invoked only if there is any<br \/>\nmiscarriage of justice or flagrant violation of natural justice and in the<br \/>\npresent case no such miscarriage of justice is  present. Under the said<br \/>\ncircumstances, the civil revision petition is liable to be dismissed.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t16. Article 227 of the Constitution of India reads as follows:\n<\/p>\n<p>\tPower of superintendence over all courts by the High Court.-[(1) Every<br \/>\nHigh Court shall have superintendence over all courts and tribunals throughout<br \/>\nthe territories in relation to which its exercises jurisdiction.]<br \/>\n\t(2) Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing provisions, the<br \/>\nHigh Court may-\n<\/p>\n<p>\t(a) call for returns from such courts;\n<\/p>\n<p>\t(b) make and issue general rules and prescribe forms for regulating the<br \/>\npractice and proceedings of such courts; and\n<\/p>\n<p>\t(c) prescribe forms in which books, entries and accounts shall be kept by<br \/>\nthe officers of any such courts.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t(3) The High Court may also settle tables of fees to be allowed to the<br \/>\nsheriff and all clerks and officers of such courts and to attorneys, advocates<br \/>\nand pleaders practising therein:\n<\/p>\n<p>\tProvided that any rules made, forms prescribed or tables settled under<br \/>\nclause (2) or clause (3) shall not be inconsistent with the provision of any law<br \/>\nfor the time being in force, and shall require the previous approval of the<br \/>\nGovernor.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t(4) Nothing in this article shall be deemed to confer on a High Court<br \/>\npowers of superintendence over any court or tribunal constituted by or under any<br \/>\nlaw relating to the Armed Forces.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t17. From the close reading of Article 227 of the Constitution of India, it<br \/>\nis easily discernible that every High Court is having power of superintendence<br \/>\nover all Courts and Tribunals throughout the territories in relation to which it<br \/>\nexercises jurisdiction. Further it is made clear that the same can be invoked in<br \/>\na case if it is shown that a grave injustice has been done to a party.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t18. In the instant case, as elucidated earlier, the sale agreement dated<br \/>\n20.09.2000 has become emerged in between the first respondent\/ plaintiff and<br \/>\nfourth respondent\/25th defendant so as to sell the suit properties mentioned in<br \/>\nOriginal Suit No.3 of 2010. It has already been pointed out in many places that<br \/>\nthere is no nexus in between the first respondent\/plaintiff and revision<br \/>\npetitioners\/ defendants 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 8 to 24 and 26 to 37. Since there is no<br \/>\nnexus in between them, in Original Suit No.3 of 2010, the revision petitioners\/<br \/>\ndefendants 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 8 to 24 and 26 to 37  should not be arrayed as<br \/>\nparties. Therefore, it is very clear that a grave injustice has been done to the<br \/>\nrevision petitioners\/defendants 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 8 to 24 and 26 to 37. Under the<br \/>\nsaid circumstances, the present civil revision petition is factually and legally<br \/>\nmaintainable under Article 227 of the Constitution of India.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t19. The learned counsel appearing for the first respondent\/plaintiff has<br \/>\nmade an inept attempt so as to buttress the contention urged on the side of the<br \/>\nfirst respondent\/plaintiff by way of acciting the following decisions:\n<\/p>\n<p>\t20. In Durga Prasad and another V. Deep Chand and others (AIR 1954 SC 75),<br \/>\nthe Honourable Apex Court has held that &#8220;a suit for specific performance by<br \/>\nprior purchaser against his vendor and subsequent purchaser is legally<br \/>\nmaintainable.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>\t21. It is an everlasting and also an axiomatic principle of law that<br \/>\nsubsequent purchaser will step into the shoes of his vendor, who entered into a<br \/>\nsale agreement with prior purchaser. Under the said circumstances, subsequent<br \/>\npurchaser is also a necessary and proper party to a suit instituted for specific<br \/>\nperformance.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t22. Here the position is inverse. It is not the case of the first<br \/>\nrespondent\/plaintiff that the defendants 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 8 to 24 and 26 to 37<br \/>\nare the subsequent purchases from the fourth respondent \/25th defendant. The<br \/>\nfourth respondent\/25th defendant has entered into the sale agreement in question<br \/>\nin his individual capacity and his definite stand is that the properties<br \/>\nmentioned therein have been allotted to his father B.V.Rajagopal Naidu and other<br \/>\nlegal heirs of B.V.Rajagopal Naidu have executed release deeds in favour of the<br \/>\nfourth respondent\/25th defendant. Therefore, the dictum found in the decision<br \/>\nreported earlier is not suitable to the facts and circumstances of the present<br \/>\ncase.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t23. In Sadhana Lodh Vs. National Insurance Co. Ltd and another (2003) 3<br \/>\nSupreme Court Cases 524, the Honourable Apex Court has held that &#8220;where a<br \/>\nstatute provided an appeal on limited grounds, the said grounds of challenge<br \/>\ncannot be enlarged by filing a writ petition under Articles 226\/227.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>\t24. In Surya Dev Rai Vs. Ram Chander Rai and others (2003) 6 Supreme Court<br \/>\nCases 675, the Honourable Apex Court has held in paragraph 22 that &#8220;Article 227<br \/>\nof the Constitution confers on every High Court the power of superintendence<br \/>\nover all courts and tribunals throughout the territories in relation to which it<br \/>\nexercises jurisdiction excepting any court or tribunal constituted by or under<br \/>\nany law relating to the armed forces. Without prejudice to the generality of<br \/>\nsuch power the High Court has been conferred with certain specific powers by<br \/>\nclauses (2) and (2) of Article 227 with which we are not concerned hereat. It is<br \/>\nwell settled that the power of superintendence so conferred on the High Court is<br \/>\nadministrative as well as judicial, and in capable of being invoked at the<br \/>\ninstance of any person aggrieved or may even be exercised suo motu. The<br \/>\nparamount consideration behind vesting such wide power of superintendence in the<br \/>\nHigh Court is paving the way of justice and removing any obstacle therein. The<br \/>\npower under Article 227 is wider than the one conferred on the High Court by<br \/>\nArticle 226 in the sense that the power of superintendence is not subject to<br \/>\nthose technicalities of procedure or traditional fetters which are to be found<br \/>\nin certain jurisdiction. Else the parameters invoking the exercise of power are<br \/>\nalmost similar.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>\t25. In Ganapathy Subramanian Vs. S.Ramalingam and others (2007) 7 MLJ 13,<br \/>\nthis Court has held that &#8220;only wrong decisions may not be a ground for the<br \/>\nexercise of jurisdiction under Article 227 of the Constitution, unless wrong is<br \/>\nreferable to grave dereliction of duty and flagrant abuse of power by the<br \/>\nsubordinate Courts and Tribunals resulting in grave injustice to a party.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>\t26. In Radhey Shyam and another Vs. Chhabinath and others (2009) 5 Supreme<br \/>\nCourt Cases 616, the Honourable Apex Court has held that &#8220;Under Article 227 of<br \/>\nthe Constitution of India, the High Court does not issue a writ of certiorari.<br \/>\nArticle 227 of the Constitution vests the High Courts with a power of<br \/>\nsuperintendence which is to be very sparingly exercised to keep tribunals and<br \/>\ncourts within the bounds of their authority. Under Article 227, orders of both<br \/>\ncivil and criminal courts can be examined only in very exceptional cases when<br \/>\nmanifest miscarriage of justice has been occasioned. Such power, however, is not<br \/>\nto be exercised to correct a mistake of fact and of law.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>\t27. In Madras Gymkhana Club, represented by its Hon&#8217;y Secretary, The<br \/>\nIsland Grounds, Anna Salai, Chennai-600002 and others Vs. K.C.Sukumar (2010 (1)<br \/>\nCTC 199) &#8220;this Court has taken a similar view as taken by the Honourable Apex<br \/>\nCourt for invoking Article 227 of the Constitution of India.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>\t28. The learned Senior Counsel appearing for the revision<br \/>\npetitioners\/defendants 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 8 to 24 and 26 to 37 has also accentuated<br \/>\nthe Court to look into the following decisions:\n<\/p>\n<p>\t(i) In A.Sreedevi Vs. Vicharapu Ramakrishna Gowd (2005 (5) CTC 748) this<br \/>\nCourt has held that &#8220;Article 227 of the Constitution of India can be invoked to<br \/>\nprevent abuse of process of law and such a plea can be raised in Revision<br \/>\nPetition without approaching trial Court.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>\t(ii) In Tamilnadu Handloom Weavers Cooperative Society rep.by its Managing<br \/>\nDirector Vs. S.R.Ejaz rep. by its power Agent Muralidhar T.Balani (2009 5 LW 79)<br \/>\nthis Court has held that &#8220;the suit itself is abuse of process of law and filed<br \/>\nwith the sole intention of defeating the order passed by the Supreme Court and<br \/>\nthe trial Court having apprised of such facts, failed to act at once, this Court<br \/>\nis entitled to exercise the supervisory jurisdiction under Article 227 of the<br \/>\nconstitution of India to axe the suit in the initial stage itself.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t29. From the cumulative reading of the decisions referred to supra, it is<br \/>\neasily discernible that Article 227 of the Constitution of India can be invoked<br \/>\nby every High Court under the guise of superintendence, on the following<br \/>\ngrounds:\n<\/p>\n<p>\t(a) to prevent abuse of process of law\n<\/p>\n<p>\t(b) to prevent miscarriage of justice\n<\/p>\n<p>\t(c) to prevent grave injustice\n<\/p>\n<p>\t(d) to establish both administrative as well as judicial power of High<br \/>\nCourt.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t30. In the instant case, even at the risk of jarring repetition the Court<br \/>\nwould like to point out that the sale agreement dated 20.09.2000 has become<br \/>\nemerged only in between the first respondent\/plaintiff and fourth<br \/>\nrespondent\/25th defendant. No way the revision petitioners \/defendants 1, 2, 3,<br \/>\n5, 6, 8 to 24 and 26 to 37  are connected with the alleged sale agreement dated<br \/>\n20.09.2000. But inspite lack of of binding nature upon them, they have been<br \/>\nunnecessarily dragged on to a judicial proceeding by way of filing Original Suit<br \/>\nNo.3 of 2010 on the file of the Principal District Court, Pudukottai. Therefore<br \/>\nin the present case a manifest miscarriage of justice has been occasioned. To<br \/>\nput it in short, a grave injustice has been caused to the revision<br \/>\npetitioners\/defendants 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 8 to 24 and 26 to 37  by way of impleading<br \/>\nthem in Original Suit No.3 of 2010. Under the said circumstances, the present<br \/>\ncivil revision petition  is legally and also factually maintainable under<br \/>\nArticle 227 of the Constitution of India.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t31. The learned counsel appearing for the first respondent\/plaintiff has<br \/>\nalso advanced his residual argument stating that if the revision<br \/>\npetitioners\/defendants 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 8 to 24 and 26 to 37 are having genuine<br \/>\ngrievance to the effect that they have been erroneously impleaded in Original<br \/>\nSuit No.3 of 2010, an efficacious relief is available under Order 7 Rule 11 of<br \/>\nthe Code of civil Procedure, 1908 and the same has not been invoked by way of<br \/>\nfiling a separate petition and therefore, the present civil revision petition is<br \/>\nnot maintainable under Article 227 of the constitution of India.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t32. It has already been assorted the circumstances under which Article 227<br \/>\nof the Constitution of India can be invoked by a High Court. In the instant<br \/>\ncase, a grave injustice has been done to the revision petitioners\/defendants 1,<br \/>\n2, 3, 5, 6, 8 to 24 and 26 to 37 by way of impleading them as parties to<br \/>\nOriginal Suit No.3 of 2010, even though there is no nexus betwixt them and the<br \/>\nfirst respondent \/plaintiff. Of course it is true that an efficacious relief is<br \/>\navailable under Order 7 Rule 11 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908. But at the<br \/>\nsame time, since miscarriage of justice as well as injustice have been caused to<br \/>\nthe revision petitioners \/defendants 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 8 to 24 and 26 to 37, their<br \/>\napproach by way of filing the present civil revision petition to the High Court<br \/>\nso as to ventilate their grievance is legally maintainable. Therefore, viewing<br \/>\nfrom any angle, the entire argument advanced by the learned counsel appearing<br \/>\nfor the first respondent\/plaintiff is sans merit, whereas the argument advanced<br \/>\nby the learned Senior Counsel appearing for the revision petitioners \/defendants<br \/>\n1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 8 to 24 and 26 to 37 is really having subsisting force.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t33. Before, parting with this civil revision petition, it has become<br \/>\nindefeasible to say something about the conduct of the Principal District Court,<br \/>\nPudukottai. The first respondent\/plaintiff has instituted Original Suit No.3 of<br \/>\n2010 for the reliefs of specific performance and perpetual injunction mainly on<br \/>\nthe basis of the sale agreement dated 20.09.2000 alleged to have been executed<br \/>\nby the fourth respondent\/25th defendant. Even in the said sale agreement it has<br \/>\nbeen specifically stated that the properties mentioned therein have been<br \/>\nallotted to the share of B.V.Rajagopal Naidu who is none other than the father<br \/>\nof the fourth respondent\/25th defendant. In the sale agreement dated 20.09.2000<br \/>\nthe present revision petitioners\/defendants 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 8 to 24 and 26 to 37<br \/>\nare not at all parties and there is no privity of contract as well as binding<br \/>\nnature between the revision petitioners\/defendants 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 8 to 24 and 26<br \/>\nto 37 and first respondent \/plaintiff. Therefore the revision petitioners<br \/>\n\/defendants 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 8 to 24 and 26 to 37  are totally unnecessary parties<br \/>\nto Original Suit No.3 of 2010. But the Principal District Court, Pudukottai has<br \/>\ntaken the plaint on file in Original Suit No.3 of 2010 without knowing the fact<br \/>\nthat there is no privity of contract between the revision petitioners\/defendants<br \/>\n1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 8 to 24 and 26 to 37 and first respondent\/plaintiff. In fact, the<br \/>\nPrincipal District Court, Pudukottai has adopted a spasmodic as well as<br \/>\ndesultory conduct in numbering Original Suit No.3 of 2010. In every District,<br \/>\nPrincipal District Court is having power of superintendence over its Subordinate<br \/>\ncourts and the same should be a prototype in administration of justice. But,<br \/>\nhere the Principal District court, Pudukottai has done a flagrant and also a<br \/>\nstupendous mistake in numbering Original Suit No.3 of 2010 against the revision<br \/>\npetitioners. It is not an exaggeration to say that the Principal District Court,<br \/>\nPudukottai has adopted complete lethargic attitude for the reasons best known to<br \/>\nit. The approach made by the Principal District Court, Pudukottai is not only<br \/>\nregrettable but also condemnable.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t34. It has already been pointed out that a grave injustice has been done<br \/>\nto the revision petitioners\/defendants 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 8 to 24 and 26 to 37  by<br \/>\nway of impleading them in Original Suit No.3 of 2010 and further the Principal<br \/>\nDistrict Court, Pudukottai has also done equal and clear injustice to them by<br \/>\nway of taking the plaint on file in Original Suit No.3 of 2010. Under the said<br \/>\ncircumstances, the plaint filed in Original Suit No.3 of 2010 on the file of the<br \/>\nPrincipal District court, Pudukottai is liable to be struck off in respect of<br \/>\nthe revision petitioners\/defendants 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 8 to 24 and 26 to 37.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t35. In fine, this civil revision petition is allowed without cost.<br \/>\nConnected Miscellaneous petitions are closed. The plaint filed in Original Suit<br \/>\nNo.3 of 2010 on the file of the Principal District Court, Pudukottai is ordered<br \/>\nto be struck off with regard to the revision petitioners \/defendants 1, 2, 3, 5,<br \/>\n6, 8 to 24 and 26 to 37. The Principal District Court, Pudukottai is strictly<br \/>\ndirected to look into the matter and take necessary action against the staff<br \/>\nconcerned.\n<\/p>\n<p>mj<\/p>\n<p>To<\/p>\n<p>The Principal District Court, Pudukottai<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Madras High Court M\/S.Southern And Rajamani vs R.Srinivasan on 30 March, 2010 BEFORE THE MADURAI BENCH OF MADRAS HIGH COURT DATED: 30\/03\/2010 CORAM THE HONOURABLE MR.JUSTICE A.SELVAM CRP PD(MD)No.463 of 2010 and MP(MD)Nos.1 &amp;
