Section 2(1) of the Chhattisgarh High Court (Appeal to Division Bench) Act, 2006 reads as follows :- “2. Appeal to the Division Bench of the High Court from a Judgment or order of one judge of the High Court made in exercise of original jurisdiction.- (1) An appeal shall lie from a judgment or order passed by one Judge of the High Court in exercise of original Jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution of India, to a Division Bench comprising of two Judges of same High Court: 4 Provided that no such appeal shall lied against an interlocutory order or against an order passed in exercise of supervisory jurisdiction under Article 227 of the Constitution of India.” 7. Thus, proviso to Section 2(1) of the Act of 2006 expressly bars writ appeal against the order passed in exercise of supervisory jurisdiction under Article 227 of the Constitution of India. 8. Going by the pleadings and it is not the case of this nature, in the said circumstance, we hold that the appeal is not maintainable. It is dismissed accordingly.
