The applicants have asserted that they along with the opposite party-writ petitioner no. 2 are the legal heirs of HUF which owns M/s Khatangpani Tea Estate. The parcels of land belonging to M/s Khatangpani Tea Estate have been acquired by the respondent-opposite party Oil India Limited for their operation.

Mr. Mahanta, learned counsel appearing for the opposite party nos. 1 & 2 – petitioners has referred to the written objection filed against the prayer for impleadment and has objected to the prayer for impleadment. 4. As it has been projected that the applicants are also legal heirs as like the opposite party-writ petitioner no. 2 of HUF which runs M/s Khatangpani Tea Estate and the issue is related to apportionment of compensation amount against the acquisition of the parcels of land belonging to M/s Khatangpani Tea Estate, this Court is of the considered view that for proper and effective adjudication of the issues involved in the accompanying writ petition, the applicants are necessary parties. Accordingly, the instant interlocutory application seeking impleadment of the applicants as party-respondents in the writ petition is allowed. JUDGE Comparing Assistant
