In Brief
In this Civil Appeal, the Supreme Court examined whether the non-joinder of certain parties in a suit for declaration regarding a Sale Deed was fatal to the action. The Court held that non-joinder was immaterial since the absent parties had no surviving interest in the property after the Sale Deed was executed. Affirming the concurrent findings of the Trial Court and First Appellate Court regarding the validity of the Sale Deed, the Court found that these findings were properly based on the pleadings and evidence. The High Court had correctly dismissed the Second Appeal, finding no substantial question of law warranted interference. Accordingly, the Court dismissed the Civil Appeal and confirmed the High Court's judgment.
