THE HIGH COURT OF KARNATAKA
Anu Sivaraman, G Basavaraja, JJ
Thirumalaiah – Appellant
Versus
Deputy Commissioner – Respondent
REVIEW PETITION NO. 527 OF 2024



Advocates:
For the Appellants/Petitioners: Ravi H K
For the Respondents: Vikas Rojipura

Review jurisdiction cannot be invoked to permit a re-hearing of a case on facts when the findings regarding service of notice were already established based on official records.

Headnote:The Review Petitioner sought a review of a previous judgment, contending that an earlier order passed by an administrative authority was issued without notice, which purportedly justified a delay in litigation. The Court examined the record and noted that a specific finding had already been reached confirming that notice was served and the parties were represented during the authority's proceedings. The core issue was whether grounds existed for the review of the previous judgment. The court reasoned that review jurisdiction cannot be utilized to allow a re-hearing of the case on the merits when the underlying factual finding regarding the service of notice had already been established based on the production of official records. The review petition is dismissed.

HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE G BASAVARAJA

ORAL JUDGMENT

(PER: HON'BLE MRS. JUSTICE ANU SIVARAMAN)

1. Heard learned counsel for Review Petitioners.

2. We have considered the averments in the Review Petition and the grounds raised therein. The main ground urged in the Review Petition to justify the review of the judgment is that, the order of the Deputy Commissioner was one passed without notice to the appellant which justifies the delay in filing the writ petition. However, we notice that there is a specific finding recorded by the learned Single Judge that the order of the Deputy Commissioner was passed after notice to the appellants and on their being represented before the Deputy Commissioner. The records of the Deputy Commissioner proceedings were produced before this Court as well and a finding is recorded that the notice had been served by the Deputy Commissioner.

3. In the above view of the matter, we are of the opinion that there is no ground made out for review of the judgment and the review cannot be permitted to become re hearing on the facts of the case.

4. In the result, review petition is dismissed.
