This review petition is filed contending that the promotion of the review petitioner in 1997 was not challenged by the writ appellant in time . The fact that the writ appellant passed the test earlier is not disputed. The Division Bench also noticed in the judgment under review regarding Ext.P10 which shows that writ appellant had filed a representation at the time when the review petitioner was given promotion. In any event, a review petition cannot be equated to an appeal proceedings or a petition for rehearing of the matter. On going through the judgment under review, we are of the opinion that no grounds are made out to interfere with the judgment which was dictated in the open court. The review petition is dismissed.
