#CPC Procedure

Madras High Court clarifies that Order I Rule 10(2) CPC permits only existing parties-not third-party pendente lite purchasers-to seek impleadment. Such purchasers must instead proceed under Order XXII Rule 10 CPC to continue the suit, preserving their rights without distorting procedural roles.

Madhya Pradesh High Court holds that a prayer for substitution of legal representatives implicitly seeks setting aside of abatement, reinforcing justice-oriented interpretation of CPC.
