A. Muthukrishnan v. The Registrar (General)

ORDER [Order of the Court was made by S.S.SUNDAR, J.] This Court granted enough time to the petitioner to implead the Government who is a necessary party in view of the prayer and the order passed by the learned Principal District Judge, impugned in this writ petition. The matter relates to promotion, transfer and posting of petitioners and about the monetary benefits to the petitioners. Since the order impugned is in accordance with the service rules, the petitioner was directed to implead the State Government as a necessary and proper party in the writ petition. The petitioners entitlement can be considered only in the presence of the Government.

¶2The learned counsel appearing for the petitioners states he is unable to contact the petitioners. By the impugned order, the petitioners are promoted as Bench Clerk Grade-I from the post comes under Category-II Class-IV under Tamil Nadu Judicial Ministerial Service Rules. It is stated by the third respondent in the counter that the posting of the petitioners by promotion is in accordance with Government Order as clarified. The petitioners' counsel is unable to demonstrate how the petitioners are entitled to relief as per the Government Order cited. This Court finds no merits.

¶3In such circumstances, this Court finds that no reason to keep the matter pending. Hence, the Writ Petition is dismissed for want of merits and for non-joinder of necessary parties. No costs. [S.S.S.R., J.] [D.B.C., J.]
