                                          DATE     : 25-01-2024
  PER COURT :-

1. Respondent No.6 has filed affidavit-in-reply and documents on the facts and supplying the information to the complainant. However, he find that he was not party before the subordinate authorities. Then, the question is how he could be the party to the present petition.

2. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that he had supplied the information of C.E.O. Hence, he was a necessary party. Respondent No.6 was the Village Development Officer (Gramsevak) and a public servant. He has to obey the orders of Superior. Therefore, mere supplying the information to the Superior Officer would not make him a necessary party. Unfortunately, he argued with full force, but his arguments were futile as he was never the party to any proceedings. Hence, respondent No.6 is deleted from the petition.

3. Learned counsel for the petitioner to make necessary amendment, forthwith.

4. Reserved the petition for judgment.
