SRI.T.P.M.IBRAHIM KHAN,ASST.S.G FOR R1-3 THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 28/06/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: THOTTATHIL B.RADHAKRISHNAN & S.S.SATHEESACHANDRAN, JJ. ------------------------------------------- W.P(C).No.19308 OF 2010 ------------------------------------------- Dated this the 28th day of June, 2010 JUDGMENT Thottathil B.Radhakrishnan, J. The petitioner is a stranger to the proceedings before the Tribunal in which the impugned order is passed. According to her, the impugned order affects her in as much as she would be reverted by giving effect to the order of the Tribunal. In fact, she has been reverted, it is contended. We caution ourselves that within the purview of Articles 226 and 227 of the Constitution of India, we are not exercising appellate jurisdiction and so much so, the remedy for the petitioner, who was allegedly not heard by the Tribunal, is to seek indulgence of the Tribunal by making application for review of the judgment, including for re-hearing if she was entitled to be heard in relation to the impugned order. We notice the decision of the Apex Court in Rajeev kumar v. Hemraj Singh WPC.19308/10 2 Chauhan [AIR 2010 SC 1679] which excludes challenge to Tribunal's decisions before the High Courts by third parties. This writ petition is hence dismissed without affecting right, if any, of the petitioner, including to remedies in accordance with law. Sd/- THOTTATHIL B.RADHAKRISHNAN, Judge.
