Learned Civil Judge has rightly exercised such power.

Contrary to the submissions of learned counsel for the petitioners, learned counsel representing the “respondent” submitted that services of the petitioners were hired by “CAA” prior to entering into agreement with the “respondent”. He added that the petitioners may not be a direct subject to the cause asserted in the plaint but they are not alien to the matter in issue. Learned counsel emphatically argued that the cause of action rests upon IPCs, which make the petitioners as necessary and proper party to the suit. It is contended that power to add or strike out rests with the Court and the learned Civil Judge has rightly exercised such power. Learned counsel further contended that impugned order suffers with no illegality or material irregularity justifying interference in revisional jurisdiction. Reliance has been placed on “ALI S. HABIB and others v. Dr. SHER AFGAN KHAN NIAZI and others” (2004 SCMR 1627), “MUHAMMAD IMRAN v. PRESIDENT KASB BANK LTD. and another” (2014 CLC 561) and “EJAZ INAYAT v. Rt. Rev. Dr. A. J MALIK and others” (PLD 2009 Lahore 57).
