RAKESH KAINTHLA
Subhash Chand Mehendra (since deceased) through his LRs. – Appellant
Versus
State of H. P. – Respondent
JUDGMENT
Rakesh Kainthla, J.—The petitioner has filed the present petition for seeking review of the judgment dated 4.11.2023, passed by this Court in RSA No. 323 of 2022, titled Subhash Chander Mahendra (deceased through LRs) Vs.

Court can exercise its power of review only when there is an error apparent on the face of the record and an error which is to be fished out by a process of reasoning cannot be said to be an error ap....
A review petition is maintainable where there is fraud, suppression of material facts and developments involving the same land and that too when the property already became a property of the State.
A review application filed by a subsequent counsel who had not argued the original case is not maintainable.
