The petitioner is working as Assistant Teacher in the school run by respondent no.7. The petitioner raises a grievance that though the petitioner is entitled to be included in category "C", as prescribed under Schedule "F" of the Maharashtra Employees of Private Schools (Conditions of Service) Rules, 1981, from the year 1971, the petitioner has been shown in the said category from the year 1981. It is the case of the petitioner, that seven persons who are junior to the petitioner, have been shown senior to him in the final seniority list by the management. 2. Any decision by this court, in the present matter, would adversely affect the interest of seven persons, who, according to the petitioner, have jumped the seniority. No such persons or even a single person, to represent their interest, have been joined in the present petition. 3. In the absence of such persons being made party respondents by the petitioner, we are afraid, that any decision by (4) this court would violate principles of natural justice. The petition is, therefore, liable to be dismissed on the short ground of non-joinder of necessary parties. 4. In the result, the petition is dismissed. Rule is discharged. There shall be no order as to costs. ( S.V. GANGAPURWALA ) ( B.R. GAVAI ) JUDGE JUDGE ......................... bgp/wp1249
