Allahabad High Court Urges End to Impleading Courts
The Allahabad High Court has asked lawyers to stop the practice of making courts and tribunals parties in petitions that challenge their orders.
The court said this practice is highly improper and has been discouraged by the Supreme Court for many years.
The judge noted that courts and tribunals cannot defend their orders, so it's unnecessary to include them as parties.
The court also dismissed a revision plea related to a family court order, stating that the petitioner had been given opportunities to file objections but did not take them.
