This Review Petition having been heard and reserved for orders, coming on for pronouncement this day, Shri Justice Sushrut Arvind Dharmadhikari passed the following :

Advocates:
Arjun Agrawal,

The court can review its judgment if a manifest wrong has been done and it is necessary to pass an order to do full and effective justice.

Headnote:

Review Petition - Lease Deed - The court recalled and set aside the order dated 13.03.2023, passed in W.P. No.6833/2021, and directed re-hearing in the light of amended provisions to do full and effective justice.

Fact of the Case:

The lease deed for a residential plot was cancelled due to the construction of a commercial building. The review petitioner argued that the Rules of 2018 should be applicable retrospectively, citing an amendment to Rule 22 that was not brought to the attention of the court.

Finding of the Court:

The court found that a manifest wrong had been done due to the non-disclosure of the amended Act and decided to recall and re-hear the case in the light of the amended provisions to ensure full and effective justice.

Issues: The main issue was the applicability of the Rules of 2018 retrospectively and the non-disclosure of the amended Act to the court.

Ratio Decidendi: The court can review its judgment if a manifest wrong has been done and it is necessary to pass an order to do full and effective justice.

Final Decision: The order dated 13.03.2023 was recalled and set aside, and the case was directed for re-hearing before the appropriate Bench.

ORDER

This review petition under Section 114 read with Order 47 Rule 1 of the Code of Civil Procedure has been filed challenging the order dated 13.03.2023, passed in W.P. No.6833/2021 whereby, the writ petition was dismissed at the admission stage.

2. Brief facts of the case are that vide order dated 10.07.2014, passed by the respondents No.1 and 2, the lease deed executed for residential plot No.13 situated at Scheme No.47, admeasuring 12065 sq. ft. has been cancelled on the ground that the petitioner has violated certain terms and conditions of the lase deed by constructing commercial building on the residential plot. Therefore, the eviction proceedings were initiated and that the Rules known as "Madhya Pradesh Vikas Pradhikarno Ki Sampattiyon Ka Prabhandan Tatha Vyayan Niyam, 2018( hereinafter referred to as ...."Rules of 2018"), the petitioner is entitled to mitigate the dispute by applying for compounding for which provision was not available earlier.

3. Learned Senior Counsel for the review petitioner submitted that an error apparent on the face of the record has crept in the order dated 13.03.2023 holding that the said rules will have no applicability retrospectively on the ground that the lease deed was cancelled in the year 2014 and by no stretch of imagination the Rules of 2018 would be applicable in the case of the petitioner. No termination order was challenged. The prayer for deciding the representation was also rejected on the ground that the Rules of 2018 shall have prospective applicability. He further submitted that the respondents have concelaed the material fact Rule 22 of Rules of 2018 was amended w.e.f . 09.04.2021 which was not brought to the attention of this Court, therefore, the Court came to the conclusion that the Rules of 2018 would not have applicability retrospectively. Therefore, the order needs to be recalled in the interest of justice.

4. Per Contra, learned counsel for the respondent submitted that none of the grounds under Order 47 Rule 1 of CPC is available to renew/review the order. Further, the scope of review cannot be enlarged to such an extent taking the review to be an appeal. The jurisdiction of review can be exercised for correction of a mistake and not to substitute a view / reasoning so taken in the order/judgment sought to be reviewed. Mere possibility of two different views cannot be a ground for review. On these grounds, the review petition cannot be entertained so as to re-appreciate or re-hear the entire issue which was the subject-matter of the original writ petition.

6. The chart showing the statutory provisions occupying the field in respect of Un-amended and amended Rule 22 Clause (xi) which contemplates that the proceeding for revocation of cancellation of lease for reviving the lease can be done in cases where lease was cancelled "before" coming into effect of amended Rules i.e. 09/04/2021 provided the lease, the petitioner in this case, makes an application for revocation of cancellation of lease for its revival "within 180 days" from the date of amendment i.e. 09/04/2021. The Amended and Un- amended provisions are reproduced below :-
