Summary: The application to delete defendant No. 3 (a co-operative society) from the partition suit is allowed.

The court directed the plaintiffs to amend the plaint within 14 days and proceed with the suit against defendants 1 and 2 (co-parceners/joint family members), holding that the suit is tenable against them.
