When plaintiff sues as representative
Full Text
Where the plaintiff sues in a representative character the plaint shall show not only that he has an actual existing interest in the subject-matter, but that he has taken the steps (if any) necessary to enable him to institute a suit concerning it.
Plain English Summary
Requires a plaintiff suing in a representative character to establish an existing personal interest in the subject matter and affirmatively plead compliance with all statutory prerequisites (e.g. Order I Rule 8 leave).
Key Legal Elements
- Representative Capacity Pleading: Applies to representative suits, trust suits, or suits on behalf of societies/associations.
- Existing Actual Interest: Plaintiff cannot be a meddlesome stranger.
- Statutory Steps Pleaded: Must explicitly plead obtaining leave under Order I Rule 8 or Section 92 CPC.
Practical Note
Trust & Community Litigation: When instituting a suit under Section 92 or Order I Rule 8, incorporate a distinct paragraph: 'The plaintiff has an existing beneficial interest in the trust and has moved an accompanying application under Order I Rule 8 / Section 92 for leave of this Hon'ble Court'.
