Palshikar, Advocate for respondent. CORAM:- SMT. R.P. SONDURBALDOTA, J. DATED:- 18th DECEMBER, 2009. P.C. :- * 2 * 1. Heard. 2. By this Civil Application, the applicant essentially seeks modification of the order dated 21st November, 2009 by which the applicant was directed to join the workmen who are likely to be affected by the judgment, as parties to the suit. At para-2 of the Civil Application, the applicant had given list of 10 workmen, who will be affected by the judgment not only in First Appeal No. 1274 of 2009, but also in First Appeals No. 1912 of 2009, 1075 of 2009, 1260 of 2009, 1261 of 2009 and 1262 of 2009 as the appellant in all the appeals is the same and the workmen likely to be affected by the judgment are also same. By the different appeals above mentioned, the appellant is challenging the notices issued by the respondent for different periods between 1982-1999. The applicant contends that none of the 10 employees listed at para-2 are presently working with them as they have left the services of the company after settlement of their legal dues. The applicant today is not aware of their whereabouts. At para-4 of the application, the applicant gives names of the 3 workmen who are presently in its employment. In the circumstances, the Civil Application is allowed. The applicant is therefore permitted to implead the employees named at para-4 of the application, as parties to the First Appeals. The order dated 21st November, 2009 is modified accordingly. 3. Amendments to be carried out within a period of 4 weeks from today. Stand over by 4 weeks. [SMT. R.P. SONDURBALDOTA, J]
