THIS REVIEW PETITION HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION
ON 02.12.2022, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE
FOLLOWING:

ORDER
This petition, seeking review of the order
of this Court dated 25.11.2021, has been filed,
averring that the direction to offer sacrament
on the basis of updation of the Parish Register
is against the Scheme of 1934 Constitution and
"the age old practice that has been in vogue."
(sic).
2. I do not think that the afore assertions
of the petitioners would be sufficient to seek a
review of the judgment, particularly when it was
issued after hearing both sides and examining
the 1934 Constitution.
3. Further, Sri.Shyam Prashanth - learned
Government Pleader, also says that a third party
has filed an appeal against the judgment in
question.
RP NO.179/2022 in WP(C)NO.13556/2020
In the afore circumstances, I close this
Review Petition, finding it to be unnecessary.
