REV.APLW No. 112 of 2026
2. Learned counsel for the review petitioner submitted that the petitioner had filed a Writ Petition in W.P.No.5168 of 2024, seeking to quash the order passed by the respondent in R.No.40790/T1/2023 (E.O.No.47/2024), dated 29.01.2024 and for a consequential direction to the respondent to confirm the petitioner’s promotion order passed by the respondent during the year 2020 – 2021 and this Court, vide order, dated 11.12.2025, dismissed the said Writ petition by directing the respondent to expedite the Section 17(b) disciplinary proceedings against the petitioner and conclude the same within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of the order. Further, it is observed that on conclusion of the disciplinary proceedings, the respondent shall consider the petitioner’s case for inclusion in the appropriate panel for promotion to the post of Motor Vehicles Inspector Grade I in accordance with law and rules. It is also observed that the temporary promotion granted to the petitioner vide letter dated 26.02.2021 shall continue till the disciplinary proceedings are concluded and the petitioner's case for regular promotion is considered. Hence, the petitioner has come up with this Review application.
3. Review applications can be entertained only on the ground of error apparent on the face of records or clerical error. In the present case, learned
REV.APLW No. 112 of 2026
counsel for the petitioner raised issue on the factual aspect which cannot be entertained by way of the present Review application and a new ground which has not been canvassed cannot be the basis for filing the review application. Hence, this Court is of the view that, the prayer sought for by the petitioner cannot be acceded to and is liable to be dismissed.
4. Accordingly, the review application is dismissed. No costs. 09-10-2026 Index: Yes/No Speaking/Non-speaking order Neutral Citation: Yes/No sp To The Transport Commissioner, Chepauk, Chennai – 600 005.
