Decided on : 01-05-2024

Review jurisdiction is not an appeal; it only addresses apparent errors, without reevaluating case merits.

Headnote:(A) Supreme Court Rules, 2013 - Order XLVII Rule 1 - Review petitions dismissed for lack of apparent error on record - Applications for listing denied and permission to argue in person rejected. (Paras 1-6)

(B) Review Jurisdiction - The court affirmed that review is not an appeal and should only correct errors that are on the surface without re-evaluating the merit of the case.

Facts of the case:
The petitioners challenged previous judgments through review petitions filed in connection with multiple writ petitions, seeking redress against the Union of India.

Findings of Court:
The court found no discernible error in the record warranting a review, thus dismissing the petitions.

Issues: Whether the review petitions demonstrated an apparent error for reconsideration by the court.

Ratio Decidendi: The court reaffirmed that review under Order XLVII is limited to errors visible on the surface of the record and does not allow for a re-examination of the merits of the original decision.

Result: Review petitions dismissed.
