IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH C.W.P. No. 20168-CAT of 2006 Date of Decision : 19.12.2006 K.B. Singh and another ... Petitioners Versus State of Punjab and others. .. Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE J.S. KHEHAR, HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE S.D. ANAND. Present : Mr. Mahesh Gupta, Advocate, for the petitioners. J.S. Khehar, J. (Oral) Through the instant writ petition, the petitioners have impugned the order passed by the Central Administrative Tribunal, Chandigarh Bench, Chandigarh, on 09.08.2006 in Original Application No. 957-HR of 2004. We invited the attention of the learned counsel for the petitioners to the following observations made by the Administrative Tribunal in its order dated 09.08.2006:- “It is clear from the entire pleaded case of the applicants that they are not only questioning promotion of these persons to the next higher scale of pay and posts but are, in fact, to be placed above them in their seniority list and also in the seniority to the scale of Rs.6500-10500 to which scale applicants are yet to be promoted. In these circumstances, we uphold the objection of respondents that the OA is bad for non-joinder of necessary parties over and above whom the applicants are claiming their placement for promotion at various stages and in the seniority CWP No. 20168-CAT of 2006 2 list of 2001.” Learned counsel for the petitioners, however, could not make any submission whatsoever to overcome the conclusion drawn by the Administrative Tribunal, as has been extracted herein above. In view of the above, we find no infirmity in the order passed passed by the Administrative Tribunal. The instant writ petition is, accordingly, dismissed. ( J.S.
