2. The impleading petitioners are aggrieved by the rejection of their candidature on the ground that they had not possessed the requisite practical experience. They wanted to implead themselves as party respondents in the writ petition in W.P.No.29045 of 2022 which has been filed by some the successful candidates in the selection process for the post of Assistant Electrical Inspector seeking mandamus for issuance of appointment orders to the posts of Assistant Electrical Inspector/Assistant Engineer (Electrical) PWD/Assistant Director of Industrial Safety and Health.

4. The private respondents have vehemently opposed the impleading petitions. A person who is not a party has no right to be impleaded as party respondent against the wishes of the petitioner. Further, the private respondents were already impleaded as party respondents in the writ petition in W.P.(MD) No.3949 of 2021 filed by Sivakumar (petitioner in impleading petition in W.M.P.No.16800 of 2023) challenging the selection of some of the candidates. The other impleading petitioner - Sudalaikannu is concerned, he has not chosen to implead the successful candidates. The main writ petitions filed by the impleading petitioners have been dismissed today on merits. Therefore, these miscellaneous petitions are also dismissed. ..10..2023 kmk W.M.P.Nos.471 & 16800 of 2023 in W.P.No.29045 of 2022 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis
