Order I Rule 10(2) CPC | Courts Must Analyze Cause of Action Before Striking Off Government Departments as Necessary Parties : Bombay High Court at Goa
The Bombay High Court at Goa has ruled that government departments cannot be removed as defendants in a civil suit without a detailed examination of their connection to the cause of action under Order I Rule 10(2) CPC. This decision reinforces administrative accountability by preventing courts from arbitrarily dismissing public bodies whose involvement is legally relevant, ensuring that victims of multi-party administrative failures have full recourse to justice.
