3. The learned Special Government Pleader appearing on behalf of the Review Petitioners mainly puts forth the following submissions :
The court emphasized that review powers are limited to correcting errors apparent on the record and cannot be used to substitute a previous judgment or reargue the case.
Review jurisdiction is not an appeal; it addresses only material errors apparent on record, not new arguments or hearsay.
Review jurisdiction cannot be exercised to rehear a case or correct an erroneous decision without evidence of an error apparent on the face of the record.
The court reinforced that review petitions are not an opportunity to re-argue cases or appeal decisions already made unless clear, patent errors exist.
A review petition may be maintained only upon discovery of new evidence or manifest errors; it cannot serve as an appeal to reconsider resolved issues.
Inherent power to review exists when decisions are made without jurisdiction, allowing for restoration of appeal to avoid injustice.
Point of Law : Order 47 Rule 1 CPC, which reads as Application for review of judgment.
