ORDER
This civil revision petition has been filed under Article 227 of The Constitution of India against the order dated 11.8.2026 made in I.A.No.12 of 2025 in O.S.No.49 of 2017 on the file of the Principal District Court, Chengalpattu (for short, the Court below) wherein the application filed by the first respondent/D10 to transpose him as the 26th plaintiff in the said suit came to be allowed.
2. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner.
3. This Court has carefully considered the submissions of the learned counsel for the petitioner and perused the materials available on record and more particularly the impugned order.
4. The plaintiffs filed the said suit seeking for the relief of partition and for allotment of 115/140 share in the suit property and for other consequential reliefs.
5. In the said suit, the first respondent/D10 filed the said application to transpose him as the 26th plaintiff on the ground that he entered into a compromise with the plaintiffs and defendants 2, 6 and 7 under a memo of compromise dated 16.9.2025 and that therefore, he wanted to get himself transposed as the 26th plaintiff in the said suit.
6. The petitioner/D3, opposed the said application on the ground that initially, the first respondent/D10 had taken a stand that the plaintiffs did not have a right over the suit property and that thereafter, he colluded with the plaintiffs and defendants 2, 6 and 7 only with a view to defraud the petitioner/D3.
7. In the considered view of this Court, if that is the case, even if the plaintiffs had entered into a compromise with the first respondent/D10, they cannot give any better right than what they have to the first respondent/D10. The defence of the petitioner/D3 denying the right of both the plaintiffs as well as the transposed 26th plaintiff remains in tact and that will not be, in any way, taken away by transposing the first respondent/D10 as the 26th plaintiff. The rank of the first respondent/D10 transposed as the 26th plaintiff has no bearing when it comes to a suit for partition since the respective parties will have to prove their right over the suit property.
8. Therefore, as rightly found by the Court below, the stand taken by the petitioner/D3 will not, in any way, be whittled down and the petitioner/D3 can continue to maintain the very same stand and it will be considered by the Court below on its own merits and in accordance with law. The impugned order passed by the Court below or the order passed in this civil revision petition will not have any bearing when the Court below decides the said suit on merits considering the ground raised by the petitioner/D3.
9. In the light of the above discussions, the above civil revision petition is dismissed. Consequently, the connected CMP is also dismissed. 07-10-2026 To The Principal District Court, Chengalpet. RS
