2. The petitioner has filed this writ petition as against the proceedings dated 13.07.2026 relieving the petitioner from Udayarkulam Panchayat. It appears that preliminary objection has been raised by the respondents that the petitioner has filed this writ petition without challenging the transfer order dated 07.07.2026. The petitioner has claimed that this transfer order dated 07.07.2026 has not been served to him and sought permission of this court to file an application to amend the prayer challenging the transfer order dated 07.07.2026, filed an amendment application and it has also been ordered. However, the
WP(MD) No. 22092 of 2026 petitioner has not impleaded the necessary party, who has passed the transfer order dated 07.07.2026.
3. Since the petitioner has not added necessary party as respondent in this writ petition, this writ petition is dismissed with liberty to the petitioner to file a fresh writ petition. No costs.
