O R D E R Radhakrishnan, J: The grounds urged in the writ appeal by the review petitioner cannot be entertained by this Court since a civil suit is pending between the parties. The writ petition was disposed of by a learned Single Judge giving opportunity to the petitioner to challenge the impugned orders before the appropriate forum. Since the civil suit is pending, we do not find any reason to entertain this review petition. However, we make it clear that dismissal of the review petition will not stand in the way of the review petitioner raising all his contentions before the civil court. K.S RADHKARISHNAN JUDGE, K. THANKAPPAN, JUDGE. cl CRL.A.NO. . 2 CRL.A.NO. . 3
