In his counter reply Rastogi had mentioned that in his suit Vyas has admitted that the property in question belongs to Swayambhu Bhagwan Visheshwar and as he is already contesting suit number 610/1991 as next friend of deity hence no one can claim on this property by filing a suit without making him a party in it.
