The inherent power of review is not a tool for rehearing cases without clear, substantial errors.

O R D E R

This review petition is filed by the appellants in MACA No.2298 of 2025, who were the claimants in O.P.(MV) No.528 of 2015 before the Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal, Kollam, seeking review of the judgment dated 11.08.2025 rendered by this Court in MACA No.2298 of 2025. The application for condonation of delay of 1542 days in filing the appeal was dismissed and consequently the appeal was also dismissed.

2. Heard the learned counsel for the review petitioners and the learned Standing Counsel for the respondent.

3. Learned counsel for the review petitioners submitted that the judgment rendered in the appeal is liable to be reviewed, as it suffers from serious material flaws and errors apparent on the face of the record. It is further submitted that the power of review is an inherent power of this Court and ought to be exercised in the facts and circumstances of the case.

4. Though no counter affidavit is filed by the respondent it is argued that there is no error apparent on the face of the record for this court to interfere.

5. It is trite that a review is not to be an attempted rehearing of the appeal and delay condonation petition in disguise. What is being attempted through this review is essentially a rehearing of the appeal and delay condonation petition. A detailed and considered order is passed by this court while dismissing the delay petition.

I do not find any error apparent on the face of the record, warranting the review petition to be entertained. The review petition is accordingly dismissed.
