It is lawful for any incorporated municipality to sue in the chancery court of the county in which it is located for taxes due the municipality upon real estate, whenever the taxes are past due and unpaid. The fact that the complaint contains the names of more than one (1) defendant shall not subject the complaint to an objection for misjoinder by reason of the distinct interests the several defendants have in the properties proceeded against.
