The persons appointed as per Exts.P2 to P7 have not been joined as parties to this writ petition. In my considered opinion, without them on the party array, the petitioner cannot seek or be granted all or any of the reliefs prayed for in this writ petition. The writ petition is therefore dismissed for non-joinder of necessary parties. P.N.RAVINDRAN, JUDGE css/
