HALESHA R.G, ADVOCATE FOR R1, SMT. PRATHIBHA K.R, AGA FOR R2) THIS WRIT APPEAL IS FILED U/S 4 OF THE KARNATAKA HIGH COURT ACT PRAYING TO SET ASIDE THE ORDER PASSED IN THE WRIT PETITION NO.11685.2006 DATED 05/08/2011. THESE APPEALS, COMING ON FOR HEARING, THIS DAY, JUDGMENT WAS DELIVERED THEREIN AS UNDER: CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE JAYANT BANERJI and HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJESH RAI K ORAL JUDGMENT (PER: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE JAYANT BANERJI) Despite the matter being called out twice, no one appears for the writ appellants. 2. The order under challenge in W.A.No.317/2016 is dated 07.08.2014 passed by the learned Single Judge in R.P.No.332/2014 in W.P.No.11685/2006. 3. A perusal of the impugned order reflects that the learned Single Judge, after considering the order of the Division Bench in another writ appeal filed against the - 4 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:22097-DB WA No. 317 of 2016 C/W WA No. 2538 of 2014 order of this Court in the writ petition, was of the opinion that the learned Single Judge had overlooked certain glaring circumstance and therefore the appellant was permitted to withdraw the appeal and file the review petition. 4. The learned Single Judge was of the opinion that no glaring circumstance was overlooked. It was observed that the primary contention that the writ petitioner was not a government servant had been addressed and it had been specifically held that he was a government servant. It was therefore held that there was no point to be reviewed and the review petition was dismissed. 5. No writ appeal would lie against such an order passed in a review petition. The appeal is misconceived and is therefore dismissed. - 5 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:22097-DB WA No. 317 of 2016 C/W WA No. 2538 of 2014 6. For the detailed reasoned order passed in W.A.No.317/2016, writ appeal No.2538/2014 is dismissed. SD/- (JAYANT BANERJI) JUDGE SD/- (RAJESH RAI K) JUDGE CR/List No.: 1 Sl No.: 9
