None of the persons who would be affected by such decision are on record as respondents. Though C.M.P.No.16792/98 is an application for impleadment on representative capacity, the petitioners are yet to satisfy the order passed on 22.7.1998 to publish notice of the writ petition in newspapers. Under such circumstances, at this distance of time, I do not find any way to aid the petitioners to have resolution of the dispute, if at all they have any, in writ jurisdiction. The writ petition fails. The same is accordingly dismissed. Sd/- THOTTATHIL B.RADHAKRISHNAN Judge kkb. ======================= THOTTATHIL B.
