Rule 8A of CPC : Rule 8A: Power Of Court To Permit A Person Or Body Of Persons To Present Opinion Or To Take Part In The Proceedings

Explanation using Example

Imagine a scenario where a local environmental group is deeply concerned about a lawsuit between a manufacturing company and the government regarding the pollution of a river. The lawsuit's outcome could set a precedent for environmental regulations. Under Rule 8A of The Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, the court recognizes that the environmental group has a significant interest in the legal questions being considered in the case. The judge decides it is in the public interest to hear the group's perspective on the environmental laws involved. Consequently, the court permits the environmental group to present their opinion and participate to a certain extent in the lawsuit proceedings, potentially influencing the case's outcome and future environmental protection.
