ORDER
18.09.2026
Heard Mr. W. Rahman, learned counsel for the applicant; Mr. J. Handique, learned Junior Government Advocate, Assam for the opposite party nos. 1, 3 & 7; and Mr. B. Das, learned Standing Counsel, APDCL for the opposite party nos. 4, 5 & 6.
2. The instant interlocutory application has been filed by the applicant seeking impleadment of the following authority :- Chief Electrical Inspector –cum- Advisor Government of Assam, Inspectorate of Electricity,
1st Floor, West End Block, Housefed Complex, Dispur, Guwahati – 06
as party-respondent in the accompanying writ petition, W.P.[C] no. 4694/2026.
3. The applicant as the writ petitioner has preferred the accompanying writ petition, W.P. [C] no. 4694/2026 seeking compensation from the respondent authorities in the APDCL on the ground that the husband of the petitioner died due to electrocution on 21.07.2024 allegedly due to fault/negligence on the part of the respondent APDCL authorities.
4. It is averred in the application that due to inadvertence, the afore-mentioned authority has not been impleaded as party-respondent in the accompanying writ petition. It is stated that the presence of the proposed authority as a party-respondent will be necessary as it is the authority which causes the enquiry into the alleged incident of electrocution and submits an electrical accident enquiry report, which is necessary for the purpose of adjudication of the issues involved in the writ petition.
5. The learned counsel appearing for the respondents have submitted that they have no objection to the prayer for impleadment.
6. Having gone through the statements and averments made in this interlocutory application and the reason cited for impleadment of the afore-mentioned authority as party- respondent, this Court is of the considered view that the afore-mentioned proposed authority is a necessary party for adjudication of the issues involved in the accompanying writ petition. The interlocutory application is allowed accordingly. JUDGE Comparing Assistant
