Judgment Binod Kumar Roy, J. 1. This civil revision application has been filed by defendants 9th party of a suit filed by Opposite Party nos 1 and 2 for partition against Opposite Party nos 3 to 104-impleading them as Defendants 1st party to 8th party and Defendant 10th party to Defendant 12th party against an order rejecting their prayer to grant leave to amend their written statement. 2. Mr. Raghubansh Singh, learned counsel appearing on behalf of the opposite Parties raises a preliminary objection about the competency of this civil revision application on the ground that other Defendants have not been impleaded as party to it and the suit being one for partition no effective order can be passed by this Court in the absence of other defendants whose names the petitioners themselves got expunged at the time of its admission. 3. Mr A. B. Mathur, learned counsel appearing for the petitioners, however, contends that despite expunction of the names of Opposite Party nos.17 to 104 Defendant 1st party to Defendant 8th party and Defendant 10th party to Defendant 12th party, this application can be disposed of on its merit. 4. In my view, the contention of Mr. Singh has got substance 5. The other defendants, in view of the fact that this civil revision application arises out of a suit for partition, are necessary parties. The submission of Mr Mathur that the connected civil revision No 133 of 1989 was admitted on 15th February, 1988 whereas this civil revision application was admitted on 23rd February, 1988, is of no consequence. The names of opposite Party nos 17 to 104 having been expunged, no order can be passed by this court in their absence allowing the prayer made by the petitioner. 6. For the reasons aforementioned this Civil revision application is dismissed but in the peculiar facts and circumstances, however, there shall be no order as to cost. 7. In view of the fact that the suit in question has remained pending since 1965 the trial court is directed to dispose it of expeditiously curbing all unreasonable adjournments which may be made by one or the other party. Civil Revision Dismissed
