Can a secretary of state be a party in a petition?

Sir, recently in a notice released by the Uttarakhand High Court instructed lawyers to refrain from including the chief secretary as a party in any state government-related lawsuit or cases. Dhananjay Chaturvedi, registrar general of the high court, released a notification that stating, "The members of Bar Council shall agree that although the chief secretary to the government is the head of the state secretariat, no department of the government comes under his portfolio."
