- Decided
Holding
A writ petition cannot be entertained if the application for impleadment on which it is based has been dismissed.
Summary
Petitioner Yusuf filed a writ petition in the Allahabad High Court after his application for impleadment was dismissed by the trial court. The petitioner sought to challenge the dismissal and to be impleaded as a party in the underlying proceedings. The respondents contended that the writ petition was not maintainable since the prerequisite application had already been rejected. The court, after hearing counsel, noted the dismissal of the impleadment application and held that the writ petition could not be entertained on that basis. Without addressing the merits, the court disposed of the writ petition.
