THIS REVIEW PETITION HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON

COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING:
RP Nos.982,976 983 & 987 OF 2024

ORDER
[RP Nos.982/2024, 976/2024, 983/2024, 987/2024]
The review petitions are filed challenging the common
judgment dated 02.02.2024 in W.P.(C) Nos.29044 of 2021, 220 &
30706 of 2022 and 6022 of 2023.
2. By the judgment impugned under review, this Court
took note of the fact that the entire issue was earlier considered by
this Court through Ext.P13 judgment in W.P(C) No. 6022/2023 and
having found that the action of the Government in granting a
declaration that the enquiry proceedings were void and illegal was
wrong, had only directed the continuance of enquiry proceedings
from the stage from which the enquiry was vitiated.
3. Learned counsel for the petitioner argues that the
petitioner had co-operated in the enquiry. It is too late in the day
for the petitioner to come up with such contentions, that too in a
review. Having found that the findings in Ext.P14 are wrong, the
enquiry proceedings were directed to be proceeded from the stage
RP Nos.982,976 983 & 987 OF 2024
11 2025:KER:24817
when the delinquent offered her explanation. Under such
circumstances, I do not find any error apparent on the face of the
record warranting a review. Review cannot be converted into a
second hearing as it is attempted.
I do not find any merit at all and the review petitions are
dismissed in limine.
