The Allahabad High Court has urged lawyers to stop the practice of impleading courts and tribunals as parties in petitions while challenging orders, observing that the Supreme Court had deprecated the practice decades ago.
The High Court referred to the Supreme Court’s rulings that deprecated the practice of Courts being impleaded as opposite parties.
The Supreme Court had held that the civil courts, which decide matters, are courts in the strictest sense of the term.
The court observed that despite the Supreme Court’s clear pronouncements, several advocates practising before the Lucknow Bench continued to implead courts as opposite parties.
The court also found that the revisionist concealed the date of knowledge of proceedings before the Family Court as well as in the revision plea filed in the high court.
