C/LPA/1918/2007 JUDGMENT
ORAL JUDGMENT
(PER : HONOURABLE MR.JUSTICE KS JHAVERI) The present appeal has been filed challenging the order dated 15 th September 2006 passed by the learned Single Judge in Special Civil Application No.19691 of 2006.
In light of the recent decision dated 26th December 2013 of the Larger Bench of this court in Letters Patent Appeal No. 596 of 2008 and cognate appeals, the present appeal is not maintainable as the appellant has not made the concerned Tribunal as a party in the writ petition.
We, however, clarify that this Court has not examined the appeal on merits and the appellant shall be at liberty to challenge the impugned order of the learned Single Judge before the appropriate forum and the delay occurred in challenging the impugned order of the learned Judge before the Appellate Authority would not come in the way of the appellant.
With these observations, the present appeal is disposed of. Interim relief, if any, stands extended for a period of 12 weeks from today.
