In Smt. Kanta Goel v. B.P Pathak, AIR 1977 SC 1599 their Lordships, whilst reiterating the view in Sri Ram Pasricha v. Jagannath, AIR 1976 SC 2335, observed that the law had been put beyond all doubt that the absence of one of the other co-owners on the record does not in the least disentitle the plaintiff co-owner from suing and succeeding in the proceeding for the eviction of a tenant.
