JUDGMENT

(Judgment of the Court was delivered by K.KUMARESH BABU, J.) This intra-Court appeal has been filed as against the order of the learned Single Judge dated 05.10.2018 in Review Application No.66 of 2018 dismissing the review application filed by the appellants.

2. It is pertinent to note that as against the order passed in W.P.No.33565 of 2014 dated 03.11.2016, Writ Appeal Sr.No.77224 of 2019 along with an application in C.M.P.No.13912 of 2019 to condone the delay of 904 days in filing the appeal had been filed and the Division Bench of this Court had dismissed the application to condone the delay, which would only envisage that the order passed in the Writ Court had been confirmed.

3. The learned Single Judge, while passing orders in the review application, had held that there was no error apparent on the face of the record for the review to be entertained and accordingly dismissed the review application. Therefore, we are of the considered view that the present writ appeal filed by the appellants is not maintainable, hence the Writ Appeal is dismissed. However, there shall be no order as to costs.

Consequently, connected miscellaneous petition is also dismissed. (R.S.K., J.) (K.B., J.) 13.07.2023 Index : Yes/No Speaking Order : Yes/No Sgl
