ANIL GUPTA vs MADHU GUPTA — C.A. No. 5681/2001

Summary of C.A. No. 5681/2001 (Anil Gupta v. Madhu Gupta) The Supreme Court allowed Anil Gupta's civil appeal on August 24, 2001, setting aside the High Court's order. The Court found that the Additional District Judge's November 16, 1999 order exceeded the scope of the application under CPC Order VI Rule 17, as it permitted adding a co-defendant (Manisha Gupta) without such relief being sought. The Court modified the order to permit only the plaint amendment originally applied for on July 14, 1999, and confined the impleadment of Manisha Gupta as a co-defendant accordingly. No costs awarded. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
