Q: Elaborate the citation of Textile Association (India) v. Balmohan Gopal Kurup and Another (1990) ?

Ans: In the case of Textile Association (India) v. Balmohan Gopal Kurup and Another (1990), the landlord filed an eviction suit against his tenants for default in payment of the rent and obtained an ex parte decree. The respondent was not a party in the suit; only his mother and brother were the parties. The respondent filed an appeal claiming that he was also the tenant, hence the decree obtained by the landlord was not binding. The ex parte decree against the joint tenants is equally binding on all of them. Hence, the trial court set aside the ex parte decree.
