Dominus Litus Principle | Plaintiffs Cannot Be Forced to Implead Non-Parties Under CPC Order 1 Rule 10(2) : MP HC Indore
MP High Court reaffirms that plaintiffs, as dominus litus, cannot be compelled to implead defendants against whom no relief is sought, even if they are subtenants. The ruling clarifies that impleadment under CPC Order 1 Rule 10(2) is discretionary and not mandatory where no cause of action exists, safeguarding plaintiffs' procedural autonomy in eviction suits.
