ORAL ORDER

¶34

Learned Senior Counsel Sri.D.R.Ravishankar, appearing for the petitioner submits that the petitioner intends to raise a challenge to the amendment in Karnataka Act No.6 of 2025 on the ground that a second revision is not permissible in law. Learned Senior Counsel would therefore submit that the petitioner should be permitted to amend the petition.

¶35

In the considered opinion of this Court, such amendment cannot be permitted. On the other hand, the petitioner may file a fresh writ petition raising a challenge to the amendment.
