The main legal point established in the judgment is that the Industrial Tribunal has the power to summon necessary parties to make the adjudication effective and enforceable, and the non-joinder of a necessary party can render the adjudication proceedings ineffective and unenforceable.

2. First respondent in this writ appeal (original petitioner) was appointed as a Clerk in the Oachira Service Co-op. Bank Ltd. with effect from 21.12.1973. She is a graduate and had passed Junior Diploma in Co-operation. The above Co-operative Bank was a Class V credit Society prior to 1.1.1974 and it is classified as a Class IV Society as per order dt. 23.2.1985. Pursuant thereto, the Bank adopted a staff pattern consisting of one Secretary, Accountant, Senior Clerk, Junior Clerk Attender. First respondent in this Writ Appeal made representations on 31.5.1985 and 2.7.1985 for granting her promotion as Accountant since she was the only senior qualified person entitled to promotion. While so, Administrator took charge of the control of the Bank from 21.6-1985. The second appellant was appointed in the service of the Bank as a field man on 10.12.1970. He has only the qualification of Secondary School Leaving Certificate (failed) and was not having Junior Diploma in Co-operation. He was promoted as Junior Clerk on 4.11.1972 and later promoted as Cashier-cum-Clerk. The above post was also equivalent to the post of Junior Clerk. It was alleged that he influenced the Administrator as well as the Joint Registrar for granting him promotion. Therefore, first respondent filed O. P. No. 7272 of 1985 seeking a writ of mandamus directing the Joint Registrar of Co-operative Societies and the Administrator to promote her to the post of Accountant and to pass other consequential orders. This Court disposed of the Writ Petition on 14.2.1986 with a direction to the Joint Registrar and Administrator to dispose of the representation submitted by the petitioner after hearing all the parties.

The revision was allowed by the Government by Ext. P5 order dt. 17.9.1987 setting aside the order passed by the Joint Registrar dt. 11.2.1986. Second appellant thereupon challenged the above order before this court by filing O. P. No. 7746 of 1987. This Court directed the Government to consider the matter afresh after giving an opportunity of being heard to all parties. Ext. P6 representation was then filed. By Ext. P7 dt. 20.8.1988, Government passed an order holding that second appellant was not entitled to exemption from qualification. It was also found that second appellant was never posted as Cashier and mat he was only a Cashier-cum-Clerk which has to be taken on par with the Clerk. It was also found that the departmental officers favoured the second appellant, Government therefore, ordered that promotion given to the second appellant as Accountant was not in order and the original petitioner has got better claims for the post of Accountant. Accordingly, second appellant was reverted from the post of Accountant and promoted the original petitioner as Senior Clerk with effect from 12.2.1986 and as Accountant from 19.9.1988.
