Section: 92,OrderI,Rule10,8,1

Civil Procedure Code (V of 1908)--- ----S. 92, O. I, Rr. 8 & 10---Suit under S.92, C.P.C. relating to public charities---Nature, spirit scope and concept of the suit---Application under O.I, R.10, C.P.C. by applicant to be arrayed as co-plaintiff in the suit---Principles---Necessary parties---Scope.
