RASHIDA K – Appellant
Versus
N.SIDRATHUL MUNTHAHA – Respondent
RP NO. 1312 OF 2024 | WP(C) NO.34850 OF 2018



Advocates:
For the Appellants/Petitioners: V.VARGHESE
For the Respondents: P.M.PAREETH, E.G.GORDEN, SR.GP

A review petition requires valid grounds for reconsideration of a judgment, which were not established in this case.

Headnote:In the review petition, the court examined whether reliance on a preceding judgment constituted grounds for review. The review petitioners contended that the earlier decision was not good law as per subsequent rulings. The court concluded that the judgment was independently arrived at, thus dismissing the petition without merit. The decision emphasized that no valid reasons were provided to justify the review request.

Table of Content
1. review petition filed questioning reliance on earlier judgment. (Para 1)
2. counsel discussions highlight locus standi issues for the review petitioners. (Para 2 , 3)
3. court observes independent reasoning in judgment. (Para 5)
4. final dismissal due to lack of merit in review petition. (Para 6)

ORDER

This review petition is filed by respondents 6 to 8 in the writ petition, essentially pointing out that this Court, while disposing of the writ petition, placed reliance on the judgment of this Court in Koyyode Madrassa U.P.School v. Director of Public Instructions, Trivandrum [2011 (1) KLT 150], which, according to the review petitioners, has been held to be not good law in the subsequent judgment of this Court in Roopa A.K. v. State of Kerala and Others [2014 (1) KLT 483]

2. I have heard Sri.V.Varghese, the learned counsel for the review petitioners and Sri.P.M.Pareeth, the learned counsel for the petitioners in the writ petition.

3. The learned counsel, Sri.Pareeth, also points out that the review petitioners, being only teachers in the school concerned, have no locus standi to file the review petition.

4. I have considered the submissions.

5. The reading of the judgment itself would show that the decision has been arrived at independently of the judgment of this Court in Koyyode Madrassa U.P.School v. Director of Public Instructions, Trivandrum [2011 (1) KLT 150]

6. In such circumstances, I am of the opinion that no reasons have been pointed out, which will entitle the review petitioners to seek review of the judgment dated 21.11.2024.

Resultantly, I find no merit in the review petition, and the same is dismissed.
