15. The Hon’ble Supreme Court of Pakistan has also allowed joinder of several causes of action against the same defendant/respondent in Alam Khan and 3 others v. Pir Ghulam Nabi Shah & Company (1992 SCMR 2375) wherein it was held;
“It is manifest from the reading of Order II, Rule 3 that a plaintiff can unite in the same suit several causes of action against the same defendant. Needless to mention that in a suit for pre-emption the preemptor and the vendee are the only necessary parties and as such the plaintiff/pre-emptor could join against the vendee/defendant several causes of action. The impugned transaction though on behalf of different persons and finalized through two different mutations were sanctioned on the same date. The plaintiffs/appellants rightly joined the two sale transactions in a single suit because if he had filed separate suits, even then they had to be consolidated as common questions of law and fact regarding right of pre-emption of parties and determination of market value would have been involved . As such the joining of two transactions in one suit was more proper and convenient than filing of separate suits”.
