Whether court can entertain third party's intervention application in disposed off suit?

  Here, the plaintiff sued and had the decree. Thus, he is

entitled to the decretal amount. When he wanted to withdraw

that amount, somebody else objects. That somebody maybe his

brother or his erstwhile agent. However strong that person's

right to recovery maybe, he cannot file an intervention

application in an already disposed of matter and stay the

execution of the decree or nullify the decree without proper

judicial recourse. {Para 36}

37. After all is said and done, here comes the palliative. If

Subhash has an enforceable claim against either Rajesh or

Sudarshan, the above suit does not defeat his rights. Much less

do these observations affect Subhash’s supposed rights.

38. Under these circumstances, I express my inability to

entertain this application despite diligent efforts made by Shri

Savant, the applicant’s counsel. I, therefore, dismiss it.

39. Shri Savant, at this juncture, wants this Court to

restrain the respondent-plaintiff from withdrawing the decretal

amount for at least eight weeks, so the applicant could explore

his remedial options. The Respondent's counsel, of course,

strongly opposes this plea.

As the intervention application in a disposed of suit has

been summarily rejected, I see no justification for the Court to

grant such relief as the applicant sought. The request stands

rejected.
