UPON hearing counsel the Court made the following O R D E R
Heard the learned counsel for the applicant and learned counsel for the respondents. It is stated in the application for impleadment that the applicant proposed to be impleaded as respondent is similarly placed to that of the respondents in this special leave petition. The respondents employees got the orders from the Central Administrative Tribunal in their favour which was upheld by the High Court. That order was challenged by the petitioners-employer before this Court by filing special leave petition. It is further stated that the members of the applicant Association could approach the High Court, further any decision that will be taken in the special leave petition will affect the rights of members of the applicant Association. Though the petitioners-employers have filed statement of objections to the application filed for impleadment, there is no averment to the effect that the members of the applicant Association are not similarly placed as that of the respondents-employees and it has not denied the above fact. Therefore, in my considered view they appear to be necessary parties. The application for impleadment is therefore allowed. Learned counsel for the petitioners may amend the cause title within two weeks.
