Judgment :- 1. The above writ petition is filed for issuance of writ of certiorarified mandamus to call for the records in pursuant to the impugned order of dismissal issued by the second respondent in proceeding dated 23.11.1998 and the impugned order of the Board issued by the then President of the second respondent Stores in proceeding dated 20.5.2001 and the impugned Revision Order passed by the first respondent in Proc.No.Na.Ka.8552/01 dated 3.1.2002 and quash these orders and consequently direct the respondents to reinstate the petitioner in service with full backwages and other consequential service benefits. 2. Alleging misconduct on the part of the petitioner, he was dismissed from the post of clerk with effect from 25.11.1998. Aggrieved by the same, the petitioner preferred an appeal before the second respondent and the appeal was rejected by order dated 20.5.2001. As against the same, the petitioner preferred a revision before the first respondent, who rejected the revision petition as time barred by his order dated 3.1.2002. Aggrieved by the same, the petitioner filed a review petition, which came to be rejected by the first respondent. Hence, the present writ petition has been filed for the relief set out above. 3. A perusal of the order of the first respondent dated 13.3.2002 shows that the review petition has been rejected stating that the revision petition has already been dismissed on the ground of limitation and therefore there is no question of reviewing the said order. The reason assigned by the authority appears to be justified as there is no order passed on merits in the Revision Petition and hence the question of reviewing the order does not arise as it is not disposed on merits. In view of the same, the writ petition is liable to be dismissed and accordingly the same is dismissed. No costs.
