—Necessary
parties— Proceedings on a petition for writ of quo warranto against the
appointment, as Chief Minister of a Province, of a person who was under a
disqualification imposed under S. 3 of the Public and Representative Offices (Disqualification)
Act, 1949 but the period of whose disqualification was curtailed by an amending
order of the Governor— General—Whether the Province or the Federation are
necessary or proper parties to proceedings.
In a petition for a writ of quo warranto, it
was contended by the petitioner that the Governor— General had no power to
amend this previous order of disqualification passed against the respondent
under section 3 of the Public and Representative Offices (Disqualification)
Act, 1949 so as to curtail the period of disqualification of the respondent,
and thus to enable the Provincial Governor to appoint the respondent as the
Chief Minister of the Province. The respondent put forward a preliminary
objection that the Federation and the Province were necessary parties to the
writ proceedings. Held, that while they were proper parties, and while, if they
had applied for it, they would have been heard they were not necessary parties;
that in the circumstances of the case, IL was not desirable, at the expense of
an adjournment, to make either of them parties to the proceedings:
