JUDGMENT
(Delivered by M.M.SUNDRESH, J.)
The appellant is the writ petitioner before the learned Single
Judge. The writ petition has been filed challenging the proceedings of
respondents 7 and 6 with the consequential prayer.
2. The grievance of the appellant is with respect to paragraph 7
of the order passed which proceeds on the footing that he has
consented.
3. Though the appellant has filed the affidavit as stated by the
counsel, controverting the same before us, taking note of the fact that
it is a Court of record, we are of the view that proper remedy is only to
file a review before the learned Single Judge instead of filing an
appeal. This is the law governing the land as of now.
4. In such view of the matter, the writ appeal stands disposed of
giving liberty to the appellant to file review within a period of four
weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment, in such
case, the same is expected to be numbered and taken up without

W.A.No.1194 of 2019
insisting for an application for condonation of delay. We request the
learned Single Judge to take the review application as and when it is
posted before him and make an endeavour to dispose it of within a
period of six weeks thereafter taking into consideration the fact that
the appellant is a senior citizen. No costs. Consequently, the connected
miscellaneous petitions are closed.
