https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=101213 Order I Rule 8(1)(a) of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 does not require prior notice to other interested persons or defendants before permission is granted to sue in a representative capacity. The rule's text contains no express precondition of advance notice, and the structure of Rule 8 supports that reading because notice of the suit is separately required after permission or direction is made under Rule 8(2). Rule 8(3) also preserves protection for interested persons by allowing them to seek joinder later. Prior notice therefore cannot be implied in the absence of clear statutory language. en-us Tue, 20 Aug 1985 00:00:00 +0530 Wed, 08 Feb 2012 18:46:11 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=101213 Order I Rule 8(1)(a) of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 does not require prior notice to other interested persons or defendants before permission is granted to sue in a representative capacity.
