Order on Impleadment Application
1. Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned counsel for the respondents.
2. The impleadment application has been moved for impleading Manish Kumar and Durgesh Dhar as respondents No. 7 & 8 as they are the persons who participated in the selections, but have been declared unsuccessful and made a complaint regarding the selection proceeding. Therefore, as complainants, they cannot be permitted to be arrayed as party. They can also not be permitted on the ground that they have not challenged the appointment of the petitioners on any ground which was the option left to them.
3. Accordingly, the impleadment application is rejected.
