VIJAY BISHNOI HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE N. UNNI KRISHNAN NAIR 09-09-2024 (Vijay Bishnoi, C.J.) This interlocutory application is filed on behalf of the applicant with the prayer to implead Anupam Nirman Pvt. Ltd. as party respondent No.8 in the connected PIL. The PIL petition is filed by the petitioner alleging that the construction of 4-Lane Flyover from Diphu Stadium to Head Post Office on Lumding Dimapur Road, Diphu in the district of Karbi Anglong has been awarded to Anupam Nirman Pvt. Ltd. without even calling for a tender. It is submitted that though the tender was issued inviting applications from the interested contractors but, prior to that, Anupam Nirman Pvt. Ltd. was allowed to start the work of the above-referred construction. Learned counsel for the applicant has, therefore, submitted that the Anupam Nirman Pvt. Ltd. is a necessary party to be impleaded in the PIL petition. Having heard the learned counsel for the applicant as well as the counsel for the State respondents, we are of the view that the Anupam Nirman Pvt. Ltd. is liable to be impleaded as party respondent No.8 in the connected PIL petition. Hence, the prayer for impleadment is allowed. Accordingly, this interlocutory application is allowed.
