Dr. Rohtas Kanwar Yadav andand others ----Respondents CORAM:- HON'BLE MR JUSTICE ADARSH KUMAR GOEL HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE AJAY KUMAR MITTAL Present:- Mr. Deepak Sibal, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr.Puneet Bali, Advocate for respondent No.1. Mr.Rajiv Atma Ram, Sr.Advocate with Mr. Vikas Kuthiala and Mr. Namit Kumar, Advocate for respondent Nos. 3 to 5. Adarsh Kumar Goel,J. This petition has been filed against order of the Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT) dated 26.5.2010, whereby while upholding appointment and continuation of the petitioner, locus standi of respondent No.1, the original applicant was upheld. It was also observed that there is procedural irregularity in the extension given to the petitioner upto the age of 65 years but the said irregularity did not affect the validity of the extension given. We have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the record. By separate order passed today in CWP No.12587 of 2010 (Dr. Rohtas Kanwar Yadav v. Union of India and others), 1 CWP No.14283 of 2010 we have upheld the view taken by the CAT in upholding the extension given to the petitioner. It is undisputed that respondent No.1 is one of the eligible candidates for the post of Director. He is, thus, affected by the extension given to the petitioner if the same is found to be illegal. In view of above, we do not find any merit in this petition and the same is dismissed. (Adarsh Kumar Goel) Judge November 11, 2010 (Ajay Kumar Mittal) ‘gs’ Judge 2
