UPON hearing the counsel through Video Conference, the Court made the following

O R D E R

SLP(C) No. 15999-16001/2021

An application has been placed before me whereby exemption has been sought from filing spare copies. Ld. counsel for the petitioner submitted that in the present case there are more than 300 respondents and petition is of around 600 pages, therefore, it is very difficult for him to supply the spare copies to all the respondents. He further Digitally signed by Indu Marwah Date: 2021.10.30 10:47:28 IST Reason: Signature Not Verified

pointed out that there are only two main contesting respondents and rest of the respondents are just proforma respondents and no relief has been claimed against them. He further pointed out that in the other two connected matters, respondents are the same and once they are served in those two connected matters, he would supply copies of the pleadings to the Ld. counsels only.

Heard and perused the record.

I am of the opinion that the petitioner is the master of its case. Even if respondents are proforma respondents, they are to be served. If they are not necessary or relevant parties, they should not have been made respondents. In case some one has been arrayed as respondent in the litigation before the Apex Court, that person has to be served and spare copies are required to be filed. If the petitioner, as argued, is of the opinion that no relief has been claimed against most of the respondents and their presence is not required for effective adjudication of the dispute, the petitioner may, if so advised, move an appropriate application seeking deletion, otherwise the petitioner is supposed to file the spare copies within the stipulated time as provided under the rules.

Registry is also directed to see and examine the matter at their end.

List again on 9.12.2021.
