State Wakf Board, as defendant No.2 in O.S.No.2297 of 2007, was allowed. 2. Learned counsel for the petitioners contended that originally the Original Suit No. 2297 of 2007 was filed by the petitioners against respondent No.2 for declaration and consequential relief of perpetual injunction. The petitioners also filed a petition to restrain the respondents from interfering with the construction activities over the suit schedule property. After hearing both sides, the said petition was allowed. Thereafter, respondent No.1 herein filed an interlocutory application No. 293 of 2008 to implead it as D2 in the suit, on the ground that the suit schedule property is a Wakf property and therefore, it is a necessary and proper party to the suit, which was allowed by the impugned order. 3. Under Order I Rule 10(2) C.P.C., a party who has got semblance of right over the property can come on record, so that the real controversy in dispute can be resolved once for all, without there being any multiplicity of proceedings. This is the object of Order I Rule 10(2) C.P.C. 4. O.S.No. 2297 of 2007 is filed by the petitioners herein challenging the show cause notice issued by respondent No.2 Municipal Corporation of Hyderabad. In that suit, the plaintiffs, i.e., petitioner Nos. 1 to 6 herein, claimed that they are owners and possessors of the property. 5.

In the affidavit filed in support of the petition by the Chief Executive Officer of the Wakf Board, it is categorically stated that the property bearing Municipal No. 3-6-527, admeasuring 3000 sq.yards, popularly known as Jamsheed Khan Mosque, which is a registered one and also published in Gazette Notification, dated 19-11-1984.
