( 2 ) HAVING heard Mr. D. C. Raval, learned advocate for the appellant and having perused the impugned order as well as the averments made in the petition and the documents forming part of the petition, it is seen that the learned Single Judge has considered the petition filed by the appellant as a petition under Article 227 of the constitution of India. Therefore, according to us, against the order passed in a petition filed under Article 227 of the Constitution of India, Letters Patent Appeal under clause 15 of the Letters Patent is not maintainable. ( 3 ) SEEN in the above context, since the appeal is not maintainable, same deserves to be dismissed at its inception. ( 4 ) FOR the foregoing reasons, the appeal fails and accordingly it is dismissed at the threshold.
