sought for by the writ petitioner.

¶23

It is also seen that the change of the Bank Account number which has been challenged by the petitioner is on account of the intervention by the applicants.

¶24

Considering the above, it is, therefore, the opinion of this Court that the applicants herein are necessary parties to the accompanying writ petition. Accordingly, this Court, therefore, impleads the applicant Nos. 1 and 2 as the respondent Nos.3 and 4 to the accompanying writ petition.

¶25

The learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner is directed to file a fresh memo of parties before the Registry of this Court and the Registry shall on the basis of the fresh memo of parties along with the instant order make the necessary corrections in the cause-title of the accompanying writ petition as well as update the same in the CIS.
