MOHAMMED ANZAR. THIS REVIEW PETITION HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ALONG WITH R.P.NO.644/09 ON 03/07/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: R. BASANT & M. SASIDHARAN NAMBIAR, JJ. ------------------------------------------------- R.P.Nos.1164 of 2007 & 644 of 2009 in W.A.Nos.2267 & 2210 of 2007 ------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 3rd day of July, 2009 ORDER Basant,J. These review petitions are filed to review the common judgment dated 3/10/2007 in W.A.Nos.2267 & 2210 of 2007. Those writ appeals were disposed of without expressing any opinion on merits of the case and with the observation that it was for the Government to consider the grievance raised by the petitioners/appellants. 2. The petitioners/appellants want the decision to be reviewed. What is the reason? The learned counsel for the appellants submits that even before the writ appeals were disposed of, the Government had already taken a decision by R.P.Nos.1164 of 2007 & 644 of 2009 -: 2 :- the Council of Ministers on 10/4/01 (copy of which is produced as Annexure-A1(5)). That decision is favourable to the appellants/review petitioners. Why then do they want the common appellate judgment to be reviewed? They are entitled to the advantage of Annexure-A1(5) decision dated 10/4/01, it is claimed. In these circumstances, nothing further remains to be done in pursuance of the common judgment dated 3/10/07. The appellants have already got a decision of the Government in their favour and we do not, in these circumstances, find any merit in the prayer for review. 3. As, according to the appellants, they are satisfied with the decision of the Council of Ministers dated 10/4/01, we find no reason to review the impugned common appellate judgment. 4. The learned counsel for the appellants submits that the Government may be directed to implement the said decision dated 10/4/01 of the Council of Ministers. If the Council of Ministers have decided so, we find no reason why it shall not be implemented by the Government. If they have a grievance that the said decision is not being implemented, the avenues R.P.Nos.1164 of 2007 & 644 of 2009 -: 3 :- available to them shall remain unfettered by the disposal of the appeals by the appellate judgment sought to be reviewed. The said decision of the Council of Ministers is still in force and has not been altered, submits the learned counsel for the review petitioners. 5. With the above observations, these review petitions are dismissed. Sd/- R. BASANT (Judge) Sd/- M. SASIDHARAN NAMBIAR (Judge) Nan/ //true copy// P.S. to Judge
