R6 BY GOVT. PLEADER MR.P. NANDAKUMAR. THIS REVIEW PETITION HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 06/12/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: rs S. SIRI JAGAN, J. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - C.M.P. No.38501 of 1999 & R.P. No.311 of 1999 in O.P. No.7828 of 1999 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dated this the 6th day of December, 2010 O R D E R The R.P. No.311/1999 is filed by the petitioners against the judgment dated 25.03.1999 in O.P. No.7828/1999 and the C.M.P. is filed seeking condonation of delay of 83 days in filing the review petition. I am of opinion that, no purpose would be served by considering the review petition on merits insofar as even if the review petition is allowed, I will have to necessarily relegate the petitioners to the Armed Force Tribunal insofar as during the pendency of the proceedings before this court the Armed Force Tribunal has come into being and in respect of matters to be dealt with by the Armed Force Tribunal, the jurisdiction of this court is specifically excluded. Therefore it is for the petitioners to approach the Armed Force Tribunal appropriately. Without prejudice to that right, this review petition and C.M.P. are dismissed. S. SIRI JAGAN JUDGE shg/
