Bombay High Court

PRANITA PARAB AND ANRversusMARIA MAXIMA DSOUZA ALIAS MAZIMIANA DSOUZA AND 4 ORS

Disposal: Allowed

Holding

The court allowed the amendment and ordered deletion of Respondent No. 3(c) and Respondent No. 5 from the cause title.

Summary

In a Miscellaneous Civil Application before the High Court of Bombay at Goa, the applicants sought deletion of Respondent No. 3(c) and Respondent No. 5 from the cause title. The applicants argued that the right to sue persists even after such deletion and that the removal was at their discretion. The Registrar considered that the applicants’ request was a matter of procedural amendment and did not require examination of the respondents’ substantive rights in the property. Consequently, the application was allowed, directing that the names of the two respondents be deleted from the cause title within fourteen days. The order reflects a procedural amendment rather than a determination on substantive ownership or liability.

Issues considered

Whether the court may delete the names of respondents from the cause title upon the applicants' request.
Whether the right to sue survives the deletion of respondents' names from the cause title.

Subjects

cause title amendment
deletion of parties
right to sue
miscellaneous civil application
