Ranjit Singh, J. (Chairperson)

  1. Prayer made by appellant M/s. S.G.S. Construction and Developers (P) Ltd. for being impleaded as party respondent in S.A. filed by Maharaji Educational Trust and another has been rejected by the Tribunal below. Aggrieved against the same, the appellant has filed the present appeal to impugn that part of the order whereby the I.A. filed by the appellant under Order 1 Rule 10, CPC read with relevant provisions of the Securitization Act is dismissed.
