           Dated this the 25th day of October, 2024

                             ORDER

P.G.Ajithkumar, J.

Respondents No.1 and 2 in the original petition have

filed this petition under Order XLVII, Rule 1 of the Code of

Civil Procedure, 1908 (Code). They seek to review the

judgment dated 04.09.2024 in the original petition alleging

that there occurred errors in the judgment, which are

apparent on the face of the record.

2. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner, the

learned Senior Government Pleader and the learned counsel

for the respondents.

3. The petitioner filed O.A.(EKM) No.984 of 2024

before the Kerala Administrative Tribunal, Ernakulam Bench.

The said application was filed challenging Annexure A12

transfer order to the extent it relates to the transfer of 2024:KER:79976

R.P.No.1067 of 2024 in

respondents No.3 to 44 in the original application. The

Tribunal ordered on 22.07.2024 interim stay against

implementation of transfers concerning the said respondents

as per Annexure A12. Respondents No.1 and 2 filed a

miscellaneous application seeking to vacate the said interim

order. The Tribunal dismissed that application. In the said

circumstances, respondents No.1 and 2 filed O.P.(KAT) No.316

of 2024. After hearing both sides, this Court allowed the

original petition.

4. The petitioners seek to review the said judgment

essentially on three grounds;

(i) the view taken by this Court that an association

could not file an original application before the

Tribunal is an error inasmuch as implication of Rule

4(4) of the Kerala Administrative Tribunal

(Procedure) Rules, 2010 (for short "the Procedure

Rules") and Rule 7 of Kerala Administrative Tribunal

Rules of Practice, 2011 (for short "the Practice

Rules") was not considered;

2024:KER:79976

R.P.No.1067 of 2024 in

(ii) the finding that an association could not file an

application before the Tribunal is against the settled

law in that aspect; and

(iii) the view taken that the 2nd respondent did not have

locus standi to file original application is based on

wrong understanding of facts.

5. One of the questions considered in the judgment

was whether the 1st petitioner, being a service organisation,

has locus standi to file an application before the Tribunal

challenging an order of transfer. The said question was

considered by this Court in the light of the provisions of

Sections 19 and 20 of the Kerala Administrative Tribunals Act,

1985 (for short "the Act") and the law laid down by the Apex

Court in various decisions. It was held that the 1 st respondent

association was disentitled to file an application challenging

transfer. The contention of the learned counsel for the

petitioners now is that Rule 4(4) of the Procedure Rules and

Rule 7 of the Practice Rules lay down the procedure and

conditions for filing an application by an association, which 2024:KER:79976

R.P.No.1067 of 2024 in

has an unassailable implication that an association is

competent to file such an application, but that aspect was not

considered inspite of bringing to the notice of the court.

6. The finding in the judgment under review is not

that an association can in no circumstance file an application

before the Tribunal. Finding is only that an association cannot

file an application challenging the orders of transfer. The said

rules apply in cases where an association can file an

application. After considering the relevant provisions in the

Act and the applicable case law, we took the view that an

association has no locus standi to file an application

challenging transfers. That being the position, it was not

available for the petitioner to contend that non-consideration

of the said rules is an error. Therefore, the said contention is

untenable.

7. Whether an association is competent to challenge

an order of transfer was one of the questions considered and

decided in the judgment. When, this Court took a view in that

matter, after considering the relevant statutory provisions and 2024:KER:79976

R.P.No.1067 of 2024 in

the decisions relied on by the parties, a plea that the said

view is incorrect cannot be a ground for review. It may be

noted that the petitioners filed SLP(C) No.22261 of 2024

before the Apex Court challenging the judgment. The said SLP

was dismissed as per Annexure A order holding that the Apex

Court was not inclined to interfere with the impugned

judgment passed by the High Court. True, despite dismissal of

SLP(C) No.22261 of 2024, this petition for review is

maintainable in view of the decision of the Apex Court in

Kunhayammed v. State of Kerala [(2000) 6 SCC 359].

But a review can be entertained only on the grounds

permissible under Order XLVII, Rule 1 of the Code.

8. As rightly pointed out by the learned Senior

Government Pleader, challenge to the judgment on its merits

was declined by the Apex Court. Therefore, the petitioners are

now barred from raising contentions on the correctness or not

of the findings in the judgment. That apart, the petitioners

cannot seek a review on the ground that the view taken in the

judgment is incorrect since, such a challenge will amount to 2024:KER:79976

R.P.No.1067 of 2024 in

an appeal in disguise, which is impermissible as held by the

Apex Court in Parsion Devi v. Sumitri Devi [(1997) 8 SCC

715], Anantha Reddy N. v. Anshu Kathuria [(2013) 15

SCC 534] and S.Madhusudhan Reddy v. V.Narayana

Reddy [2022 SCC OnLine SC 1034 : 2022 (5) KLT SN

18].

9. The third ground that the view taken concerning

the locus standi of the 2nd petitioner is incorrect inasmuch as

he challenged Annexure 12 order for the reason that he was

expecting a transfer to Malappuram District in the general

transfer. But, in view of Annexure A12 he is denied such a

chance. We find no merit in the said contention since no plea

that his chance for a transfer was denied as a result of any

malafide act or violation of a statutory provision concerning

transfer, was urged in the original petition.

10. In the said circumstances, we are of the view that

none of the grounds raised by the petitioners can be

countenanced. So, the petition for review the judgment dated

04.09.2024 can only be dismissed. Accordingly, this petition is 2024:KER:79976

R.P.No.1067 of 2024 in

dismissed.
