However, the petitioner would be at liberty to raise his grievance before the statutory authority as per the statutory provisions, in accordance with law.

CM-4054-CII-2020 This is an application filed under Order 1 Rule 10 read with Section 151 CPC, for impleading the applicants as respondents. Since the main petition has already been dismissed, therefore, the present application under Order 1 Rule 10 read with Section 151 CPC, for impleading the applicants as respondents in the petition, has become infructuous.

Dismissed as having been rendered infructuous. (RAJBIR SEHRAWAT) JUDGE 29.04.2024 'R. Sharma'
