CWP No.1698 of 2002 21.7.2009 Present: Mr. Vikas Bhardwaj, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. R.K. Bawa, Advocate General with Mr. Ankush Dass Sood, Additional Advocate General and Mr. J.K. Verma, Deputy Advocate General for respondents No.1,2, 4 and 5. Mr. Adarsh K. Vashista, Advocate, for respondent No.3. The present petition has been filed in public interest to highlight the following three issues:- (1) The respondent-Council has retained the surplus staff. (2) There is misappropriation of public funds. (3) The shops in question have been constructed without the authority of law. Mr. Vikas Bhardwaj, Advocate submits that as far as Issues No.2 and 3 are concerned, these have been taken care of on the basis of the reply filed by the State Government. Moreover, departmental proceedings were initiated against one Virender Kumar. The sole surviving issue is whether the respondent-Council has retained the surplus staff or not. In case the staff is found surplus these persons have to be removed. However, the petitioner has not added these peresons i.e. surplus staff as party-respondent. The Court cannot pass any adverse order against these persons without hearing them. These persons were necessary parties for effective adjudication of the petition. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed on the ground of non-joinder of necessary parties. No costs. (Jagdish Bhalla), CJ. (Rajiv Sharma), J. July 21, 2009. (rkv)
