HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE GHULAM MOHAMMED AND HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE K.G. SHANKAR WRIT PETITION NO. 6210 OF 2000 Between: S. Jagannadham, S/o Late Suraiah, aged about 60 years. ………….Petitioner AND Union of India, represented by the Director General, Telecommunications and two others ………….Respondents ORDER: (Per Hon'ble Sri Justice K.G. SHANKAR) The petitioner is a retired Chief Section Superintendent in the Telecom Department and claiming seniority over one Mallick, he filed O.A.No. 1605 of 1995 before the Central Administrative Tribunal, Hyderabad. Through the impugned orders dated 30.4.1998, the Central Administrative Tribunal, Hyderabad dismissed the O.A. The facts of the case are that the petitioner has joined as TSC Clerk on 25.10.1958. It is the case of the petitioner that one Mallick has joined as LDC on 22.9.1959. The case of the petitioner is that the petitioner was shown as junior to Mallick while he has joined service about a year before Mallick joined service. Therefore, he seeks the rectification of the injustice done to him. The Central Administrative Tribunal dismissed the O.A, inter alia, holding that Mallick, who would be the aggrieved party was not made party to the case and therefore, the O.A was not maintainable on the ground of non-joinder of necessary parties. The learned counsel for the petitioner pointed out that the petitioner joined the service in the TSC Unit and Mallick joined service in TRA Unit. On 10.8.1970 both the units stood merged and the inter se seniority of the employees of TSC Unit and TRA Unit consequently came up for consideration. It is the case of the learned counsel for the petitioner that the petitioner has joined in 1958 and while Mallick has joined in 1959, and therefore, he should be placed over and above Mallick in the seniority list. The unfortunate situation is that that the petitioner has not impleaded Mallick, who would be directly affected by the orders of the inter se seniority. Therefore, the Central Administrative Tribunal was rightly justified in dismissing the OA, more or less, in limini, on the ground of non-joinder of necessary parties. We therefore, find no merits in this Writ Petition and the impugned order does not suffer from any infirmity. The Writ Petition accordingly is not found meritorious and is therefore, dismissed. No costs. ________________________ GHULAM MOHAMMED, J _____________________ K.G. SHANKAR, J DATE: 07.06.2011 KA ... REGISTRAR // TRUE COPY // SECTION OFFICER To 1. 2 CD copies.
