This intra-court appeal is filed against the judgment in W.P. (C)No.18551 of 2020 dated 9.9.2020. The 6th respondent therein is the appellant. On going through the impugned judgment, with reference to the pleadings in the appeal, it is evident that the main grievance of the appellant is that in respect of the issue that may ultimately affect him adversely and cause prejudice to his rights, the matter was decided without issuing him notice. According to the appellant, this was done despite the fact that he is arrayed as 6th respondent in the writ petition. The impugned judgment would reveal that it was disposed of at the admission stage itself, evidently, without issuing notice to the 6th respondent. In such circumstances, there will be some substance in the contention raised by the appellant if any issue which may ultimately affect him adversely or cause prejudice to his rights, was decided as per the impugned judgment. We are of the view that taking into account the nature of the directions issued in the judgment in question will be whether compliance with the directions in the judgment, as it is, would cause any prejudice to the appellant and if so, whether it would be remedied even without setting aside the judgment.
