Case Note & Summary
The case involved an appeal by the defendant against a judgment and order of the High Court. The appeal was directed against the High Court's decision in RSA No.319/1990, which was previously remanded by the Supreme Court for fresh disposal. The Supreme Court noted that despite its order to implead the Commissioner, Town Municipal Council, Chitradurga as a necessary party, the plaintiff failed to do so. This omission was deemed significant enough to set aside the High Court's order. The Supreme Court remanded the matter back to the High Court, instructing that the Commissioner be impleaded and that the appeal be disposed of in accordance with law after hearing all parties involved. The decision emphasized the importance of including necessary parties in litigation to ensure fair adjudication.
