4. According to the respondents 1 to 3, the property in S.No.110/2 is also a joint family property. The 5th respondent/1st defendant sold his property to the petitioner on 13.12.2010. After filing of the suit, petitioner filed an application in I.A.No.616 of 2015 and contested the application on the ground that the said property is not a joint family property and it is an absolute property of the first defendant. The patta was issued in the name of the 5th respondent/1st defendant.

7. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and perused the materials available on record.
8. From the materials on record, it is seen that the objection of the petitioner for inclusion of property in question and impleading him as a party defendant is that the property is the individual property of the 5th respondent/1st defendant and not the joint family property. The Learned Trial Judge has rejected this contention of the petitioner on the ground that this issue can be decided only at the time of conclusion of trial. The learned Judge considering all the materials on record in proper perspective, allowed the application by exercising his power conferred on him by giving cogent and valid reasons. There is no irregularity or illegality warranting interference by this Court with the order of the learned trial Judge, dated 21.02.2017. Since the suit is of the year 2008, learned Trial Judge is directed to dispose of the suit, as early as possible, in any event, not later than four months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. No costs. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petition is closed.
