Order 1, Rule 1 of the Civil Procedure Code (CPC) pertains to the general power of the court to ensure the effective administration of justice. Here is the text of Order 1, Rule 1 of the CPC:

"1. General power of the Court: The Court may at any stage of the proceedings, either upon or without the application of either party, and on such terms as may appear to the Court to be just, order that the names of any party improperly joined, whether as plaintiffs or defendants, be struck out, and that the name of any person who ought to have been joined, whether as plaintiff or defendant, or whose presence before the Court may be necessary in order to enable the Court effectually and completely to adjudicate upon and settle all the questions involved in the suit, be added."

This rule grants the court the authority to strike out the names of parties who have been improperly joined and add the names of those who should have been joined. It ensures that the court has the power to include or exclude relevant parties to facilitate a fair and comprehensive resolution of all issues in a lawsuit.
