Goswami, learned counsel for the applicant, who by means of this application has prayed for impleadment of the applicant as the respondent no. 16. It is contended that the applicant, who is an elected Ward Member, has, subsequently been elected as the Chairman of the concerned Dergaon Municipal Board. Shri R Sarma, learned counsel for the opposite party / writ petitioners has, however, submitted that there is no requirement for such impleadment as the said Page No.# 4/4 applicant is already on record as the respondent no. 11. He has also disputed the proposition that the applicant has been elected as the Chairman inasmuch, as the approval has not been granted till now. After hearing the rival submissions, this Court is of the view that a case for impleadment has been made out. Accordingly, the applicant, namely, Chairman, Dergaon Municipal Board be impleaded as the respondent no. 16 in the connected writ petition. It is, however, made clear that the impleadment of the applicant shall not cause any prejudice to the challenge instituted by the petitioner in the writ petition. IA accordingly stands disposed of.
