Rule 6 of CPC : Rule 6: Joinder Of Parties Liable On Same Contract

Explanation using Example

Imagine Sarah took a loan from three individuals—Tom, Bob, and Alice—signing a single promissory note where all three are co-lenders. Sarah fails to repay the loan, and all three lenders want to take legal action to recover their money. According to Rule 6 of The Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, Tom, as the plaintiff, can choose to file a lawsuit and include Bob and Alice as co-plaintiffs in the same suit against Sarah, since they are all jointly entitled to the amount due under the promissory note. This allows for a consolidated legal action rather than separate lawsuits, saving time and legal expenses for all parties involved.
