They challenge an<\/p>\n<p>  order of the Central Administrative Tribunal, Ernakulam<\/p>\n<p>  Bench that was rendered in O.A.16\/09. The writ petitioners<\/p>\n<p>  were not parties to that Original Application.                Therefore,<\/p>\n<p>  when this matter came up for admission, it was noticed that<\/p>\n<p>  they could not move this Court as the court of first instance,<\/p>\n<p>  going by the judgment of the Apex Court in <a href=\"\/doc\/1266659\/\">Rajeev Kumar<\/p>\n<p>  &amp; Another v. Hemraj Singh Chauhan &amp; Others<\/a> [AIR 2010<\/p>\n<p>  SC 1679], rendered relying on the judgment of the<\/p>\n<p>  Constitution Bench in <a href=\"\/doc\/1524908\/\">L.Chandra Kumar v. Union of India<\/p>\n<p>  &amp; Others<\/a> [(1997) 3 SCC 261]. Faced with this situation,<\/p>\n<p>  learned senior counsel appearing for the petitioner points out<\/p>\n<p>WPC.20979\/10<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                2<\/span><\/p>\n<p>  that in Rajeev Kumar (supra), the Tribunal had never<\/p>\n<p>  answered any question as to non-joinder of necessary parties,<\/p>\n<p>  while in the case in hand, the Tribunal had taken note of the<\/p>\n<p>  contention of BSNL that necessary parties are not before it<\/p>\n<p>  and it concluded that no further parties are required to be on<\/p>\n<p>  the array to determine the issues in the light of the nature of<\/p>\n<p>  the relief sought for. The Tribunal, in fact, overruled the<\/p>\n<p>  objections of BSNL in that regard, it is pointed out.<\/p>\n<p>2.Learned counsel for BSNL states that it is also aggrieved by<\/p>\n<p>  the impugned order of the Tribunal and the precedent of the<\/p>\n<p>  Tribunal, referred to in the impugned order, is already under<\/p>\n<p>  challenge before this Court and that the said matter has been<\/p>\n<p>  admitted and an order of stay has been granted.<\/p>\n<p>  Be that as it may, in Rajeev Kumar (supra), the Apex Court<\/p>\n<p>  categorically stated that the grievances of third parties that<\/p>\n<p>  they were not parties to proceedings before the Tribunal<\/p>\n<p>WPC.20979\/10<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                               3<\/span><\/p>\n<p>  ought to be raised only before the Tribunal and not before the<\/p>\n<p>  High Court in proceedings under Article 226 and 227 and no<\/p>\n<p>  such writ petition could be entertained because it would<\/p>\n<p>  amount to treating the High Court as the court of first<\/p>\n<p>  instance for entertaining the lis between the writ petitioners<\/p>\n<p>  and those who are before the Tribunal. In fact, the Apex<\/p>\n<p>  Court has clearly indicated in paragraph 16 of the judgment<\/p>\n<p>  in Rajeev Kumar (supra) that the remedy of any person<\/p>\n<p>  aggrieved by such an order would lie before the Tribunal in<\/p>\n<p>  the form of application for review. Even if a question as to<\/p>\n<p>  non-joinder of necessary parties has been raised by parties<\/p>\n<p>  who are arrayed in a proceedings and if such issues are<\/p>\n<p>  answered and if the Tribunal has consciously considered the<\/p>\n<p>  same, that would bind only parties who are before the<\/p>\n<p>  Tribunal and would not affect the rights of parties who could<\/p>\n<p>  move the Tribunal thereafter, seeking that the order is to be<\/p>\n<p>  reviewed. In this view of the matter, we are bound to follow<\/p>\n<p>  the law laid by the Apex Court in Rajeev Kumar (supra).<\/p>\n<p>WPC.20979\/10<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                             4<\/span><\/p>\n<p>  Therefore, we dismiss this writ petition in limine, without<\/p>\n<p>  expressing anything on merits and preserving the rights of<\/p>\n<p>  the parties to move the Tribunal for review of the impugned<\/p>\n<p>  order.\n<\/p>\n<p>                                            Sd\/-\n<\/p>\n<p>                          THOTTATHIL B.RADHAKRISHNAN,<br \/>\n                                           Judge.\n<\/p>\n<p>                                            Sd\/-\n<\/p>\n<p>                               S.S.SATHEESACHANDRAN,<br \/>\n                                           Judge.\n<\/p>\n<p>kkb.14\/07.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kerala High Court Boban Lal V. vs Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited on 12 July, 2010 IN THE HIGH COURT OF KERALA AT ERNAKULAM WP(C).No. 20979 of 2010(S) 1.
