B BHUYAN Advocate for : SC HIGHER EDU appearing for THE STATE OF ASSAM AND 5 ORS BEFORE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE KARDAK ETE ORDER Date : 10-11-2025 Heard Mr. N. Gogoi, learned counsel for the applicant. Also heard Ms. Geeta Rani Mahilary, learned counsel for the opposite party Nos. 1 & 2, and Mr. S. K. Medhi, learned counsel for the opposite party No. 4. The applicant has filed this application praying for impleadment of opposite parties, namely, the Bodoland Territorial Council and the Secretary of Education Department, Bodoland Territorial Council, in the connected writ petition, being WP(C) No. 505/2023. The applicant/petitioner has filed the connected writ petition, being WP(C) No. 505/2023, challenging the action of deducting amount from the pensionary benefits. The applicant, who was working as an Associate Professor in the department of Bodo, MIL at Barama College, has taken voluntary retirement under VRS Scheme after serving 27 (twenty seven) years in the college. It is the contention of the applicant that while filing the connected writ petition, Page No.# 4/4 the opposite parties have not been arrayed as party respondents inadvertently. Therefore, prays that since the applicant was working under the opposite parties and the action impugned is by the said authorities, the opposite parties may be allowed to be impleaded as respondent Nos. 7 & 8 in the connected writ petition. The learned counsel representing the opposite parties as well as other respondents fairly submit that they would not have any objection as the opposite parties, who are sought to be impleaded, are the necessary parties. Having considered that the applicant has challenged the action of the opposite parties in deducting amount from the pensionary benefits by way of recovery as an excess payment and considering that the applicant was working under the opposite parties, I deem it appropriate to allow this application. Accordingly, the opposite parties, namely, the Bodoland Territorial Council and the Secretary of Education Department, Bodoland Territorial Council, are allowed to be impleaded as respondent Nos. 7 & 8 in the connected writ petition, being WP(C) No. 505/2023. The interlocutory application stands disposed of. JUDGE Comparing Assistant
