JUDGMENT

M.S.RAMESH, J.

and R.SAKTHIVEL, J.

The appellant seeks benefit under the New Amnesty Scheme, 2025, which was introduced on 24.07.2025, apparently after the order that was passed by the learned Single Judge, in W.P.No.18183 of 2021 dated 16.06.2025.

¶26

2.Being unable to canvass this ground before the learned Single Judge, it would not be desirable to take up the appeal on a new ground which was not canvassed before the learned Single Judge. Hence, the Writ Appeal stands closed with liberty to the appellant to file a Review Application before the Writ Court, within a period of one (1) month,
