In view of the decision of the Apex Court in the case of
Sh. Jogendrasinhji Vijaysinghji v. State of Gujarat and others,
reported in AIR 2015 SC 3623, we hold that the decision of the Full
Bench of this Court in the case of Ramchandra Dagoji Rangari
through LRs.

case has expressed its disagreement with such a view with reasons
in support of it and we concur with it. Normally, being a
co-ordinate Full Bench, it will not be open for us on judicial
discipline and propriety to hold that the Full Bench decision in
Ramchandra Rangari's case is per incuriam and we will have to
refer the matter to a larger Bench.
Ram Kishan Fauji vs State Of Haryana And Ors on 21 March, 2017
In our view, the ratio of the decision has to be understood
not only from what has been laid down in the light of
the contentions rejected or accepted, but also from
the position of law, if any, reversed, overruled or accepted or
confirmed. Though the Civil Courts are subordinate to the High
Court, the expression 'inferior Court' is not referable to 'Judicial
Court'. It is thus clear to us that the judicial orders of the Civil
Court are not amenable to a writ of certiorari under Article 226 of
the Constitution of India. There are no precedents in India for the
High Courts to issue writs to subordinate Courts. The jurisdiction to
issue a writ of certiorari under Article 226 is distinct from one
under Article 227 of the Constitution of India. We, therefore, hold

that a writ petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of India
challenging the orders passed by the Judicial/Civil Courts,
subordinate to the High Court and seeking a writ of certiorari, is not
maintainable. The question of law at Serial No.(1) is
answered accordingly. Consequently, the question of law
at Serial No.(2) does not at all survive.
Savita Devi vs District Judge, Gorakhpur And Others on 18 February, 1999
In Savitri Devi (supra), the Court took
exception to courts and tribunals being made parties. It is
apposite to note here that propositions laid down in each
case has to be understood in proper perspective. Civil
courts, which decide matters, are courts in the strictest
sense of the term. Neither the court nor the Presiding
Officer defends the order before the superior court it does
not contest. If the High Court, in exercise of its writ
jurisdiction or revisional jurisdiction, as the case may be,
calls for the records, the same can always be called for by
the High Court without the Court or the Presiding Officer
being impleaded as a party. Similarly, with the passage of
time there have been many a tribunal which only
adjudicate and they have nothing to do with the lis. We
may cite few examples; the tribunals constituted under the
Administrative Tribunals Act, 1985, the Custom, Excise and
Service Tax Appellate Tribunal, the Income Tax Appellat
Tribunals, the Sales Tax Tribunal and such others. Every
adjudicating authority may be nomenclatured as a tribunal
but the said authority(ies) are different that pure and
simple adjudicating authorities and that is why they are
called the authorities. An Income Tax Commissioner,
whatever rank he may be holding, when he adjudicates, he
has to be made a party, for, he can defend his order. He is
entitled to contest. There are many authorities under
many a statute. Therefore, the proposition that can safely
be culled out is that the authorities or the tribunals, who in
law are entitled to defend the orders passed by them, are
necessary parties and if they are not arrayed as parties,

the writ petition can be treated to be not maintainable or
the court may grant liberty to implead them as parties in
exercise of its discretion. There are tribunals which are not
at all required to defend their own order, and in that case
such tribunals need not be arrayed as parties. To give
another example:--in certain enactments, the District
Judges function as Election Tribunals from whose orders a
revision or a writ may lie depending upon the provisions in
the Act. In such a situation, the superior court, that is the
High Court, even if required to call for the records, the
District Judge need not be a party. Thus, in essence, when
a tribunal or authority is required to defend its own order, it
is to be made a party failing which the proceeding before
the High Court would be regarded as not maintainable."
Umaji Keshao Meshram & Ors vs Radhikabai W/O Anandrao Banapurkar & ... on 14 March, 1986
(a) In the decision of the Apex Court in Umaji Keshao
Meshram's case, the question was regarding the
maintainability of the Letters Patent Appeal challenging the
decision of the learned Single Judge delivered in exercise of
its jurisdiction under Article 226 or 227 or 226 and 227 of
the Constitution of India. It was neither the question raised
nor decided as to whether a writ of certiorari under
Article 226 of the Constitution of India would be
maintainable without impleading the tribunal or authority
as a party respondent.
