APPEAL NO. 801/2014 (CH-) WHICH IS PRODUCED AT ANNEXURE-A. THIS PETITION, COMING ON FOR ORDERS, THIS DAY, ORDER WAS MADE THEREIN AS UNDER: CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE E.S.INDIRESH ORAL ORDER Learned Additional Government Advocate accepts notice for respondents Nos. 5 and 6. 2. Heard the learned counsel appearing for the parties. 3. In the present writ petition, the petitioner has assailed the order dated 24.03.2026 passed by the Karnataka Appellate Tribunal in Rev. Appeal No. 801/2014 (Annexure-A), whereby the appeal was allowed and the matter was remanded to respondent No.5 herein with a direction to consider the impleading application filed by the applicants therein. 4. Having taken note of the submissions made by the learned counsel appearing for the parties, it is seen - 5 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:27373 WP No. 14955 of 2026 that the Karnataka Appellate Tribunal, by the impugned order at Annexure-A, has accepted the impleading application filed by the applicants and remanded the matter to respondent No.5 for fresh consideration after affording an opportunity of hearing to all the parties concerned. 5. In view of the aforesaid facts and circumstances, I am of the considered opinion that the impugned order is only a remand order intended to facilitate a comprehensive adjudication of the dispute after hearing all necessary parties. Such an order does not call for interference in exercise of the extraordinary jurisdiction of this Court under Articles 226 and 227 of the Constitution of India. Accordingly, the writ petition stands dismissed. SD/- (E.S.INDIRESH) JUDGE SB:List No.: 1 Sl No.: 11
