-1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY ORDINARY ORIGINAL CIVIL JURISDICTION CHAMBER SUMMONS NO. 222 OF 2008 IN WRIT PETITIO NO. 1506 OF 2008 Maharashtra Rajya Suraksha Rakshak and Generla Kamgar Union and another ... Petitioners versus Security Guards Board for Gr. Bombay and Thane District and others ... Respondents And Rajendra M. Sharma ... Applicant/ Intervenor. Mr. Rahul Nerlekar for the applicant/intervenor. Mr. Umesh Shetty, instructed by Mrs. Vaishali Bhilare, for the petitioners. Mr. C.J. Sawant, Senior Advocate, with Ms. Lata Desai, instructed by Pallavi Divekar, for respondent No.1. Mr. Jasbir Saluja, AGP, for respondent No.2. CORAM: P.B. MAJMUDAR & A.A. SAYED, JJ. DATE: AUGUST 20, 2008. P.C. By preferring this chamber summons, the applicant has prayed that he may be permitted to intervene in the writ petition as he is a necessary party. It is the case of the applicant that in pursuance of the advertisement dated 7th May, 2008 issued by the Board, he had applied for employment with the Security Guards Board. It is his case that if any order -2- is passed in this proceeding, it may affect him either directly or indirectly. It is, therefore, prayed that he may be permitted to be joined as a party in the original writ petition. Learned counsel for the petitioners, however, submitted that the applicant is not required to be joined as party as the advertisement on the basis of which he had applied was subsequently cancelled. However, it appears that there is no material produced before this Court in this behalf. In our view, the applicant is required to be joined as respondent No.4 in the writ petition and by allowing this Chamber Summons, no prejudice is likely to be caused to either side. Accordingly, Chamber Summons is made absolute in terms of prayer clause (a). Cause title of the writ petition be amended accordingly. P. B. MAJMUDAR, J. A.A. SAYED, J.
