For instance in a suit for partition all the sharers are necessary parties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the contrary, a proper party is the one in whose absence an effective order can be passed but whose presence is necessary for a complete and final decision on the question involved in the proceeding. For instance&nbsp; in a suit for possession by the landlord against the tenant, a sub-tenant is only a proper party. So also, grandsons are proper parties to a suit for partition by sons against their father.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In simple terms, this is particularly essential when the outcome of the case would directly affect the rights or interests of the person or entity seeking to be added, and their absence could lead to injustice or incomplete relief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"2\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Purpose of interlocutory application for Intervention<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Coming to an application for Intervention, it is maintainable when a third party has some valuable insight or information that can assist the Court in making a just decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An Intervention application is filed by a third party to support a party or raise a specific issue.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Intervention Application are often restricted in private disputes and are more common in public interest matters or constitutional cases.<br><br>In the absence of such intervention, the court might miss critical facts or technical details, which could lead to an uninformed ruling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let us move on to the components of the interlocutory application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-are-the-components-of-the-interlocutory-application\">What are the components of the interlocutory application?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you have understood the purpose of these interlocutory applications, I will now talk about the components of the Impleadment and Intervention applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"components-of-interlocutory-application-for-impleadment\">1. Components of interlocutory application for Impleadment<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Your application must begin with a reference to the main matter under which such application is filed, along with a brief mention of relevant facts, if necessary, to set the context.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The applicant must mention the date and details of the Order that is being challenged in the main proceedings and explain their connection to the case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The application must clearly state how the rights and interests of the applicant are affected by the outcome of the proceedings and why their inclusion as a party is necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The application should annex relevant documents, such as court orders or notifications, to support the applicant\u2019s claim of similarity or right to be impleaded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your application shall consist of a prayer clause, seeking to implead the applicant as a party in the proceedings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The applicant must affirm that the application is bona fide and made in the interest of justice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"components-of-interlocutory-application-for-intervention\">2. Components of interlocutory application for Intervention<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>You must refer to the main matter and the specific order being challenged, including its date and important details, in your application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It should describe the applicant\u2019s role, expertise or involvement in the matter, explaining how their knowledge is relevant to the court\u2019s adjudication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The applicant must indicate that their intervention is necessary to provide important facts or perspectives, without which there is a risk of incomplete adjudication or miscarriage of justice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The application should annex documents, such as appointment letters or reports, to establish the applicant\u2019s credibility and involvement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The prayer must seek permission for the applicant to intervene in the proceedings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The application must declare that it is filed bona fide and in the interest of justice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moving, let us see how these are drafted.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-to-draft-an-interlocutory-application\">How to draft an interlocutory application?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I will show how to draft each application now, one by one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"drafting-of-interlocutory-application-for-impleadment\">1.

What is the difference between Impleadment and Intervention?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><br><\/strong>Impleadment means to add someone as a formal party to the proceeding as their rights or interests are directly affected by the outcome. On the other hand, intervention is when a non party wants to offer insights to assist the court, without becoming a full fledged party. In our horticulture scheme case, the Assam Association wants to be a party (Impleadment) because their pensions are at stake, while Dr. Anil Sharma wants to share his expertise (Intervention) without joining the fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2<\/strong>. <strong>When can you file an Impleadment Application?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A person can file an Impleadment application when:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The outcome of the case will directly affect your legal rights<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Your absence would lead to incomplete justice<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You have a legal interest that needs protection<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You need to file an Impleadment Application as early as possible, as the Courts may be reluctant to add parties at a later stage.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3.<\/strong> <strong>Who can file an Intervention Application?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An Intervention application can be filed by:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A person with expert knowledge in the subject and relevant experience can assist the Court.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Government officials with vast administrative experience<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Organizations with valuable insights<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Any person can file an Intervention Application, but the Applicant must demonstrate how their knowledge and expertise will assist the court in making a just decision.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome back to our interlocutory application series.
