(Oral) The petitioners are aggrieved by the order dated 14.5.2009 (Annexure P-6) whereby their claim for assigning seniority over and above those who are alleged to have been `directly recruited' against the promotional quota posts, has been turned down by the respondent- authorities. The petitioners also seek a mandamus to direct the respondents to declare them senior to the directly recruited employees, even without impleading them as party-respondents. It is stated by learned counsel for the petitioners that the direct recruits have been adjusted in Guru Gobind Singh Super Thermal Power Plant, Ropar, whereas the petitioners are working in Guru Nanak Dev Thermal Plan at Bathinda, due to which the petitioners have not been able to get the correct particulars of the directly C.W.P.No .2653 of 2010 2 recruited employees. Since the desired relief cannot be granted without hearing the persons likely to be effected from the outcome of the writ petition, the same is disposed of at this stage with liberty to the petitioners to apply to the respondent-authorities under the Right to Information Act or otherwise for the supply of the relevant and requisite information. If such an application is moved by the petitioners, the respondent-authorities are directed to supply the requisite information within a period of one month from the date of receiving of such application. After receipt of the information, the petitioners shall be at liberty to approach the appropriate forum in accordance with law. Ordered accordingly. Dasti.
