1. During the pendency of this petition, an application was filed on 20.11.1992 by the Secretary of the Bihar Kisan Samitee on behalf of landless agricultural labourers, which is a peasants organisation, formed with the aims and objects to implement Land Reforms Laws and is championing the cause of the landless agricultural labourers, for being impleaded as intervenor respondent in this petition. By order dated 23.2.93, the aptplications was ordered to be considered at the time of hearing. Learned counsel for the petitioners has objected to the prayer of allowing the application of the intervenor. Learned Counsel for the petitioners, however, does not dispute the contention of the learned counsel for the intervenor that was allowed to be impleaded to espouse the interest of the landless agricultural labourers in similar writ petitions, namely, C. W. J. C. No.9836 of 1992 and C. W. J. C. No.6323 of 1989. As such, I allow the application of the intervenor to be impleaded as Respondent in this petition.
