A person has filed 3 civil suits of similar nature (for recoveries of amounts transferred vide cheques) against 3 persons. All the 3 are related to each other on family/work terms. The deposits were done in a staggered manner in accounts of all the 3 defendants.
1) Can the 3 suits be combined into one?
2) Or can a single reply be filed on behalf of all the 3 defendants in response to the plaint?
3) Is there any other way and procedure to achieve the same (if need be done in a different manner than the above mentioned)?
